Presses Universitaires de Nancy, 1990The archives of Meuthe et Moselle indicate that this furniture was destroyed during the Second World War at the same time as the flying club. The former manager of the club was able to save a few copies before the bombing and kept them for his personal use. The aeroclub was rebuilt in 1953 by Jean Prouvé with Le Corbusier but there was no order for furniture. Bibliography: C. Coley, "Jean Prouvé en Lorraine". Ed.
