avion

World Cup Word of the Day: Avion, the French word for airplane.

The Germans made huge craters at all cross roads in Avion and leading towards Lens.

At daybreak, Canadian airplanes, flying low over Avion, saw few Germans there.

Strangely enough, for a moment it seemed impossible that I should meet another avion.

A gleam of sunlight rested there for a while, and the little river was a blue streak this side of Avion.

In Avion the enemy had already let loose floods to stop the way to Lens, and by the rain-storm they spread into big swamps.
