Re: Advanced Landing Grounds in Normandy
Hello Frédéric
What you need to find is a copy of "La Bataille Aerienne de Normandie 1944" by Jean-Pierre Benamou and Francois Robinard ISBN 2-908561-07-7 Editions-Diffusion du Luys as it holds all the information, maps, photos etc. that you need. It is out of print - but you should be able to obtain a copy from a bookseller - have you tried asking at the Museum in Bayeux if they hold any of the maps you are after - they might even have a copy of the book that you could look at? cheers Allan

Re: Advanced Landing Grounds in Normandy
Hello Frédéric,
I only have information on ALG A2 Cricqueville. It was built both on Cricqueville (north part of the landing strip) and La Cambe (south part of the landing strip). A book, unfortunately out of print, was written by a French association who helped to built in the 80s big stones with a plaque in honor of the American Fighter Groups which were stationned in these landing grounds. I hope this will help. Olliball |
