A-67 Vitry-en-Perthois airfield, map needed

Hey all,

Working about the 358th FG, I would love to locate exactly the place were stayed - for a short time in late 1944- the ALG A-67 known as "Vitry-le François", and located in the fields near Vitry-en-Perthois (village Northeast of Vitry-le-François).

"Orangetails" memorial book says the field was eastern of Vitry, "located in meadows between the Marne river and between several tributary creeks; it nestled between wooden hills".

Do maybe someone have a copy of the nice 819th EAB "secret" maps, as the ones existing about the several Normandie airfields? Or other one map or pict of the airfield in use with the 358th FG Thunderbolts?

I would be very interested to see how the airfield was organised (strip, taxiways, parkings etc...)

Thanks for any possible help,

Mathias, France
