Re: Mitry-Mory airfield, France June 1940.
Hallo CJE,

Many thanks for your reply. Please forgive my lack of knowledge of French airfields during 1940.

My question arose because of an entry in Peter Cornwell's 'The Battle of France, Then and Now'. An RAF Fairey Battle of No. 88 Squadron (serial number unknown) force-landed "on Mitry-Mory airfield" on 12 June 1940.

Was there ever an airfield near the town of Mitry-Mory in 1940 ? Or was the Claye-Souilly airfield the nearest to the town of Mitry-Mory in June 1940 ?

By the way I landed at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle in 2007 and was lucky to see the prototype Airbus A380. I had not realized that GDG was so close to Mitry-Mory.

Regards,

Martin.
