At the end of the Second World War, in 1945, Beauvais was a city devastated by the air war. Heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe in the spring of 1940, the city was 50% destroyed. The Beauvais-Tillé airport, built in the 1930s and whose facilities were modernized by the German army, was then used by the Allies.
At that time, Jacques Maillard recovered pieces or parts of aircraft left on the ground, in the vicinity of the city. The teenager, who became a collector, later made aeronautics his profession and his passion. He founded the Beauvais-Tillé flying club in 1979.

Supported by enthusiasts, Jacques Maillard created, in 1995, the Musée de l’Aviation 1939-1945 in Warluis.
Installed in an aircraft hangar near the RN 1, the museum houses 8 fully reconstructed aircraft, 900 authentic pieces, 1.600 photographs and documents.
