Histavia-21, by Dan Gilberti

[Richard T Eger]

Dan Gilberti describes his French language site as follows:

"You will find on this site, progressively with the advance of my work:

Articles concerning Ba 102, history of aviation in Dijon, coast of gold and surroundings, the articles on spot of history, albums photographs on aeronautical and military objects of collection, various documents sometimes more technical on the ammunition..."

The site address is:

http://www.histavia-21.org/index.htm

The mainpage is divided in two, with article links to the left and various general section links to the right.

The site index is listed at the right:

Index-general - GENERAL SUMMARY HISTAVIA-21 - This is a good overview of the site.

However, if one wants to use the mainpage as the site index, then articles of interest, starting at top left, are as follows:

AVIATION SECOND WORLD WAR - GOLD COAST AND SURROUNDINGS... - Preamble.

The DORNIER 217 N1 NIGHT FIGHTER
Of Saint Jean De Boeuf

LISTING OF CRASHES OF FRENCH & ALLIED AIRCRAFT IN GOLD COAST - Extensive listing.

LISTING OF CRASHES OF GERMAN AIRCRAFT IN GOLD COAST AREA... - Extensive listing.

PLACES Of HISTORY

The Air Base 102 GUYNEMER of DIJON-LONGVIC

The Aerodrome of Pares-Tavaux

The Airfield of Chissey-sur-loue

The Radar tracking station DACKEL of Saint Jean de Boeuf

The German Camp of the Luftwaffe at Foucherans

The above last article is actually listed in the right hand list of the mainpage, but appears to be of the same sort of subject matter as the preceeding. Now, going to the sections listed in the right hand list:

OBJECTS Of AVIATION AND COLLECTION

Luftwaffe - Photos of navigator calculators, "ball switches" (FL 22412), and air speed indicators (FL 22230 & FL 22250).

ALBUM PHOTO GALLERY 1 - Includes photos of French NC 900 (Fw 190), Ju 88, Siebel 204, and Fieseler.

PHOTO ALBUM OF The AIR BASE 102 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WAR - Includes photos of French Mosquito, French Ju 88, French NC 700 Martinet, Swedish Ju 86, and French Ju 52's.

Ballade with Savigny Beaune - Described as follows:

"In the heart of the vineyards of Burgundy, an exceptional private collection of Fighters to the castle of Savigny-The-Beaune..."

This collection of photos, while having nothing to do with the WW II Luftwaffe, shows in 69 color photos a significant collection of postwar French, British, U.S., and Soviet aircraft.

INDEX OF OTHERS DOCUMENTS

Signpost Beaune-Tavaux

Notes on Luftwaffe Units at Pares & Dijon

DOCUMENTS AMMUNITION INDEX - Numerous detailed drawings and photos.

LISTINGS GERMAN AMMUNITION MG & ARTILLERY WW2

Links - About a dozen varied links.

Page of starting of MK 108 - Oddly titled, this a a huge listing of links organized neatly by subject. Definitely worth investigating. As for where this is on the mainpage, it is in the narrow olive green strip near the bottom.

The listings at the bottom simply duplicate some of the ones already covered above. They do, however, tend to put them in summary categories.

Regards,
Richard
