History

"The Republican hangar in Reus
Reus Aero Club was founded on 2 May 1935 and within a year it had the land on which to
locate the runways. However, the project was halted temporarily by the eruption of the civil
war (1936-1939), started by a military uprising against the legitimate Second Republic. In
October 1936 the project was started up again and in 1937 a hangar designed by Russian
engineers was built there. The hangar had an area of 2,650 m2 and could house large
aeroplanes; it was a building unique in the whole of Spain that, because of its advanced
features, made the airfield at Reus an important element in the aerial defence of the
Republic".
