Airfields of the Luftwaffe

[Larry deZeng]

Kettbo -

It would depend on the location, i.e., at the front or in the rear, the theater, the type of "airfield" (Feldflugplatz, Landeplatz, Einsatzhafen, Flugplatz, etc.), early in the war, middle of the war or late in the war, whether the fighter unit was at the field for just a few days or for a longer period, the enemy air threat in that particular area, the availability of natural cover dispersals such as parking bays cut into treelines or the lack thereof, etc. It varied all over the place from one fighter field to another so it is impossible to come up with a "one size fits all" template.
