I was mightily trying to restrain myself from commenting on this thread, but I have failed miserably. To begin at the end:
SHAA = Service Historique de la Armee de la Air
SHAT = Service Historique de l'Armee de Terre
both are located in/at the Chateau de Vincennes near Paris, and are, respectively, the repository for the Aviation and Ground (for the lack of a better term) histories for the French 1914-1918 services (and possibly WW II also).
Rogentil: although I fully realize you are fairly new to the Forum, I might suggest the following before 'dis-ing' a fellow contributor:
a) consider where they are located vs. travel time, distance, and cost
B) consider that they very well could speak French fluently, otherwise why would they be asking for French material from the French National Archives
c) and finally, consider who they are vis-a-vis French aviation history. I don't think I would begin a response with "wrong approach"! R.
