Re: Valence airfield


Yep, I didn’t notice that until you mentioned it. It arrived at Eleusis at the beginning of May 1941 from Comiso airfield in Sicily, spent the entire war at Eleusis, then retreated north through Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and into Bosnia. The last entry I have for it was in late December 1944 when it reported a man MIA in Sarajevo. Its FpN was never deleted so I am guessing it ended the war in Croatia or Austria. Why it went through the first two changes in designation is a mystery, but the last one was theater-wide in April 1944 in an effort to give all the Fliegerhorstkommandanturen in the Balkans Luftgau XVII (HQ in Wien-Mauer) numbering.

Fl.H.Kdtr. E 15/VII (FpN L 14994)
Fl.H.Kdtr. A 202/IV (FpN L 14994)
Fl.H.Kdtr. A 210/III (FpN L 14994)
Fl.H.Kdtr. A 105/XVII (FpN L 14994)
