Nachjagd airfields

Does anyone know where I can get details of the nightfighter airfields; specifically the location, no. of runways and orientation? Period 1943-44 in particular?

Hi
I can highly recommend "Fliegerhorste" by Karl Ries & Wolfgang Dierich, Motorbuch Verlag Stuttgart, Stuttgart 1993, ISBN 3-613-01486-6 from where the 2 below scans are taken.

Thanks SES, I agree about that site. After exhausting Googling I have also found some other useful sites + using Google Earth even!

Hi Walt,
That is "der Tarnzahl" as you can see on the header on the large picture. The "cover number" for the airfield, used in radio communication instead of transmitting the name of the airfield in clear.
For further information on German radio codewords you may also consult:
