The new French army set up in North Africa with the help of the allies in application of the Anfa agreements of early 1943 was to benefit from the organisation of the US Army, which had an autonomous artillery aviation. The French command then set up an organisation to manage the future artillery observation aircraft sections that were to be created. It was planned that each of the newly formed French divisions could be equipped with five two-aircraft artillery observation sections (SOAA), the whole forming a platoon (POA) of ten aircraft. The Piper L-4 aircraft, known as Piper Cub, were received in Algeria in September and October 1943 and it was in the middle of winter 43\/44 that the crews carried out their first missions over the Italian theatre of operations, which was mountainous and not very conducive to the movements of the young pilots, who also had to be wary of an abundant Flak.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn March 1952, a ministerial decision created the Aviation légère d'observation d'artillerie (ALOA) and entrusted the Army with the complete implementation of the air and ground equipment necessary for the observation and control of artillery fire. The ALOA was limited to missions for the benefit of the artillery. But in Indochina, it introduced the helicopter in particular for medical evacuations. In January 1953, ALOA sent a first group of volunteers to follow a training course on Bell 47D and Hiller 360 light helicopters, and then for some of them on Westland S-55. There, the first Sikorsky S-55s delivered to the Army were integrated into a group, the GFHATI, a land unit created in liaison with the Air Force.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e... and to the ALAT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ceasefire of 21 July 1954 marked the end of the fighting in Indochina.

After the World War II, few aircraft were operated in such a large number by France, partly because of its low acquisition cost.\u003cbr\u003eThe aircraft could carry 200 kg of offensive payload in addition to a front machine gun, and it quickly became the backbone of the French light support aviation squadrons, the EALA’s. Alain Crosnier and Gilbert Nëel explains that more than twenty of these units will eventually be spread throughout Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, and that at the height of operations in North Africa, it will account for 20% of the Air Force's total air activity.\u003cbr\u003eBut it is in Algeria that the network of aerodromes and runways will be the strongest and the T-6 will be their main aircraft for nearly three years. It will also be used in Morocco to train up to 150 student instructors and 300 student pilots per year. The T-6 is rather underpowered and quickly commands respect from its students. If you add some protective armor for the pilot and a little armament for its CAF, close tactical support or counter-insurgency missions, it is all the more important to fly it with care.\u003cbr\u003eEach T-6 unit is reviewed with its stationing post and equipment.

The new French army set up in North Africa with the help of the allies in application of the Anfa agreements of early 1943 was to benefit from the organisation of the US Army, which had an autonomous artillery aviation. The French command then set up an organisation to manage the future artillery observation aircraft sections that were to be created. It was planned that each of the newly formed French divisions could be equipped with five two-aircraft artillery observation sections (SOAA), the whole forming a platoon (POA) of ten aircraft. The Piper L-4 aircraft, known as Piper Cub, were received in Algeria in September and October 1943 and it was in the middle of winter 43\/44 that the crews carried out their first missions over the Italian theatre of operations, which was mountainous and not very conducive to the movements of the young pilots, who also had to be wary of an abundant Flak.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn March 1952, a ministerial decision created the Aviation légère d'observation d'artillerie (ALOA) and entrusted the Army with the complete implementation of the air and ground equipment necessary for the observation and control of artillery fire. The ALOA was limited to missions for the benefit of the artillery. But in Indochina, it introduced the helicopter in particular for medical evacuations. In January 1953, ALOA sent a first group of volunteers to follow a training course on Bell 47D and Hiller 360 light helicopters, and then for some of them on Westland S-55.

After the World War II, few aircraft were operated in such a large number by France, partly because of its low acquisition cost.\u003cbr\u003eThe aircraft could carry 200 kg of offensive payload in addition to a front machine gun, and it quickly became the backbone of the French light support aviation squadrons, the EALA’s. Alain Crosnier and Gilbert Nëel explains that more than twenty of these units will eventually be spread throughout Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, and that at the height of operations in North Africa, it will account for 20% of the Air Force's total air activity.\u003cbr\u003eBut it is in Algeria that the network of aerodromes and runways will be the strongest and the T-6 will be their main aircraft for nearly three years. It will also be used in Morocco to train up to 150 student instructors and 300 student pilots per year. The T-6 is rather underpowered and quickly commands respect from its students. If you add some protective armor for the pilot and a little armament for its CAF, close tactical support or counter-insurgency missions, it is all the more important to fly it with care.\u003cbr\u003eEach T-6 unit is reviewed with its stationing post and equipment.

Un certain nombre d'appareils ont été prétés par les divisions américaines débarquées au Maroc, d'autres transférés plus ou moins officiellement dans le cadre du Lend-Lease. Le problème du suivi de chaque appareil vient de la gestion des avions de catégorie L par l'administration américaine. \u003cbr\u003eCommandés par l'USAAF (Air Force), ils étaient remis directement à l'USAGF (Ground Force), qui considérait les L-2, L-3, L-4 et L-5 de la même façon que ses camions ou ses canons: un pool divisionnaire était constitué et chaque unité puisait dedans en fonction de ses besoins. \u003cbr\u003eEn théorie chaque aéronef de l'Air Force fait l'objet d'une fiche de suivi permettant de connaitre au moins sa date de réception, ses passages en parc et sa date de réforme avec lieu et motif.

Il manque un nombre important de fiches et on connait que peu d'exemples de L-4 ayant fait l'objet d'une réclamation par un parc de réforme.

The deployment of a few light helicopters within the liaison squadrons stationed in North Africa had been planned as part of the 1954 plan. Faced with the need to adapt to counterinsurgency operations, in March 1955 the Air Force command decided to regroup all these aircraft at the Boufarik air base and, on 1 April 1955, to form a first unit, EHL 57, with ten Bell 47G-2 light helicopters.\u003cbr\u003eWith the introduction of the first Sikorsky S-55 medium helicopters, two other squadrons were formed and merged into a mixed helicopter group, GMH 57, created on 1 August 1955 at Boufarik. In June 1956, the entry into service of the Sikorsky S-58 (H-34A) heavy helicopters led to the creation of a fourth squadron; GMH 57 then consisted of EHL 1\/57, EHM 2\/57 and 3\/57, and EHL 1\/58.\u003cbr\u003eAs the role of helicopters developed very rapidly in areas that were difficult for Army road convoys to access, this new means of transport gave rise to the first helicopter transport missions for commandos, while ensuring great operational flexibility. Small detachments were formed across the country depending on the operations in progress and took the form of DIHs (helicopter intervention detachments) composed of three or four, or even six cargo helicopters (Cargo, Auroch) and, later, the support of an H-34A armed with a cannon and machine guns (Pirate) providing close protection for the DZ during the helicopter transport of commandos.\u003cbr\u003eA more flexible approach was then adopted, consisting of dividing the helicopters into helicopter intervention units (UIH) composed of one armed helicopter and two or three cargo helicopters, then, often acting alone, an H-34 cargo helicopter armed with a cannon (Carcan). The increase in the number of helicopters deployed and the expansion of their area of operation in North Africa led to a major reorganisation. After much deliberation on the form of the future units (there had been talk of three groups) and their date of creation (August, October and then November), GMH 57 was disbanded on 31 October 1956, while the following day helicopter squadrons 2 and 3 were created, with EH 2 stationed at Oran-la-Sénia and EH 3 at Boufarik.\u003cbr\u003eGradually replacing the Bell 47s of EH 3, the first Alouette IIs were integrated in March 1957. They replaced the Bells during the first half of the year. On 1 April 1961, these same large units were renumbered 22nd and 23rd EH, the former moving to Chambéry in November 1962 and the latter to Saint-Dizier in July of the same year. As the 22nd EH was about to leave, it was decided to temporarily leave a large number of light helicopters in Algeria as part of the air force regrouping manoeuvre. Squadron 1\/24, equipped with Alouette II helicopters, was thus formed in October at La Reghaïa. In August 1963, EH 1\/24 was integrated into GAM 87, a mixed air group that remained active until the end of April 1964.\u003cbr\u003e195 pages – A4 landscape – in colour – in French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7YWXj29jmq4?si=O1_ZZIFvn_fPkWmS\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Couverture rigide - papier 130 gr \/ Hard cover 130 gr paper","offer_id":56119141531974,"sku":"839NE2026FR","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture souple papier 100 gr \/ Soft cover 100 gr paper","offer_id":56119141564742,"sku":"839NE2026FR","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/cargos_couv_2_1.jpg?v=1772869340"},{"product_id":"historique-de-laerostation-au-maroc-en-1925-1926","title":"Historique de l'Aérostation au Maroc en 1925-1926 (ebook)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorique de l'Aérostation au Maroc en 1925-1926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epar le Lieutenant Renaudon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDocumentation de l'ouvrage du Commandant Repoux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorique de la campagne 1925-1926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdité en 1929 par l'amicale des officiers aérostiers de Toulouse\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IoxwvOtfmq8?si=jl3vodt0ny2y-UQu\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56234033250630,"sku":"842OR1929OR","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/bristol002_1_-_Copie.jpg?v=1774767804"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.skyshelf.eu\/fr-de\/collections\/air-war-in-north-africa.oembed?page=2","provider":"www.skyshelf.eu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
