on the east corner of the intersection Monument Naval Air station Paimboeuf served as the training station for USN dirigible crews as well as serving as a base to conduct wartime patrols. USN personnel began training there in December 1917, with mixed US/French crews making war patrols from there at the end of Feb. 1918. The US took full control of the site and commissioned it as an NAS on March 1, 1918. The memorial is based on four concrete blocks recovered from buildings of the original air station.  Photo credits to Bretagne Aviation.
