Airfield / Airstrip ID Needed

Hi,

On January 5th, 1945 a 186 Squadron Lancaster (XY-B -NG148) flown by F/Lt Field DFC landed at an airfield / airstrip identified as A.S 62 USAAF, France.

Can some please tell me what, and where this was.

TIA

Steve

According to this source:

U.S. Army Air Forces Continental Airfields (ETO) D-Day to V-E Day by 1Lt. David C. Johnson

A-62 was Rheims/Champagne, base of 440th TCG in Jan. 45.

My source is a pdf from AFHRA so let me know if you'd like a copy.
