History
Charlois used to have an airport. Waalhaven airport as it was called, was the second civilian airport in service in the Netherlands after Schiphol[2] during the period from 1920 to 1940. The airport was destroyed by the Dutch army so it would not get in the hands of the invading German Wehrmacht during World War II.
