Your first glimpse at this page probably caused you to wonder what this list could possibly be. However, if you served in Europe and have eyes good enough to read the small type, you have probably picked out some familiar names. You may have found some of your targets and you have probably found one or more of the fields where you were stationed, for this is a list of the Airfields in Europe. None of these are the large cities; most just tiny little villages where a pierced steel plank runway was thrown in, or a captured German base put to use.
It occurs to us that these names should conjure up some nostalgic recollections, not only about missions against them while they were in German hands, but living at the field when we occupied them. Certainly too there must be many stories about visits to the towns and the local people.
Our collection of Marauder history should certainly include these stories! And this is certainly an opportunity for all, not just those who flew the Marauder! All of you who have some particular recollection about any of these fields please provide them to us.
This is probably a pretty complete list of fields in the part of the ETO that the Germans had held. As you can quickly see, it does not include the English fields or fields in other theaters, so those of you from the Mediterranean, Alaska or Pacific will not only have to provide us with those great stories, but the names of the fields. We need stories about fields at Cold Bay, Kapapa Gulch, Twelve Mile, etc. And we need some information about the fields themselves — were they captured fields, cut out of the jungle or laid in a farmer's field; were they PSP, pock marked concrete or bull-dozed hard scrabble? This information will all be added to our Data Base on WWII Airfields and become a pan of our Archive.
