Airfield in Chongqing, China
No luck in the pre-WW2 forum so I'll try here.
In the ETH Zürich library there are some interesting photos from the travels of Jean de Voyod in China in the 1930s. 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 Guangyangba is indeed mentioned 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
