	Aviation's Belle Epoque

		Aviation in France quickly took on an unmistakably national character, inspired by the likelihood of war with Germany.
		Still, the aviation madness of the crowds who flocked to airshows and races would have counted for little if the French government had not responded by investing large sums of money in the purchase of airplanes, nourishing an aviation industry that could never have survived on private purchases.
