	Het ontstaan van Vliegveld Waalhaven
		Het vliegveld Waalhaven had immers aan de Gemeente bijna twee millioen gulden gekost en het zou in een tijd van malaise zeker niet raadzaam zijn een nieuw duur vliegveld aan te leggen.
		Het Gemeentebestuur van Rotterdam achtte overplaatsing naar een complex gronden in de polder Zestienhoven onder Overschie, dat voor het grootste gedeelte in eigendom van de Gemeente Rotterdam was, redelijk.
		Onder deze omstandigheden was het verzoek van de zijde van het ministerie van Defensie om Waalhaven als militaire vliegbasis in te richten alleszins verklaarbaar.

	History
		The airfield Waalhaven, quickly proved to be a success and became the pride of the people of Rotterdam.
		During the month of May 1940, Waalhaven was the scene of intense fighting and it were eventually Dutch fighter planes that destroyed the airfield and the nearby factory to prevent the complex from falling into German hands.
		After liberation in 1945 it proved impossible to rebuild the airfield Waalhaven, and for this reason, the 1934 plans for the building of an airport to the north of the city were once again taken out of the cupboard.
