Thank you for this. My father helped build this airfield and lived in a house just off the end of the runway. My mother waved to crew’s as they took off. I took him back there in about 2005. A nice trip down memory lane made all the better as there was a hangar dance on. Happy days.

My dad was a bombardier with the 493rd. Capt George J. Field, Jr. Completed his 30 missions and received his "Lucky Bastards" certificate, which is on my office wall. First mission D-Day; final Christmas Day 1945. Stayed on as a training officer until the end of the war. Flew on one of the Operation Chow Hound missions to Holland, which dropped food to the starving Dutch.
