Aero Club of the North
The Aero Club du Nord or Aero Club of the North of France, published Nord Touriste, Bulletin Officiel Mensuel with Nord Touriste and the Automobile Club du Nord. While this bulletin was published 1903-1924, the first inclusion of information from the Aero Club du Nord has not yet been determined. The fact of joint publication suggests that the Aero Club du Nord was an offshoot of the Automobile Club du Nord.
Balloon ascensions occurred in 1909. There were some 65 members in 1910. Officers, 1910, included: E. Boulanger, president; A. Delanoe, vice president; A. Damez, secretary; and A. Lepers, treasurer. Lieutenant-Colonel Hirschauer was honorary president. The club held its sixth annual general meeting in early 1913, thus placing its first annual general meeting in early 1908 and, likely, a few months after a 1907 founding.
Affiliated with AeCF in 1908 or earlier.
