Chongqing - Koen-Sa Airfield

In the ETH Zürich library there are some interesting photos from the travels of Jean de Voyod in China. Most are from 'Koen-Sa' airfield, on an island in the Yangtse 18 km downstream from Chongqing. Clearly this island is Guangyangba ( 29°34'03.3"N 106°42'39.5"E ) and when you google that it comes up as the site of Chongqing's first airfield.

Koen-Sa is a French spelling, my question is, what would the old English and modern Chinese names be? I see nothing similar on Google or Bing Maps.

I gather that the Flying Tigers used another island upstream from Chongqing, Dazhongcun.

Any information on Jean de Voyod is also appreciated.

Thanks

Peter
