looking for info Brétigny airfield
 

Hi,

I'm looking for some general information on Brétigny airfield.
Also looking for some kind of map or air photo of the airfield.
Hope someone can help.

Thank you for the replies.

Frederic, those maps were great. I had no idea how the runways were and believe they would be same as on other field...crossing each other.

1. (small) photos of 1943 see attachment

2. does someone know what are the LAT/LON coordinates of
Chateau La Fontaine where 12./KG6 crews were housed near Bretigny-sur-Orge in 09/1943.
Is given as point 002165, GSGS 4040A, sheet 65 N.W., but unfortunately
