These ancient airfields, where Grandpa could land, are resurrected in our memories thanks to the painstaking work of the members of the association "Anciens-AĆ©rodromes"  (Ancient Airfields). 

The No. 2 of this collection tells the story of the Merville-Calonne airfield which activity started in 1936. In 1940 it was used by the RAF and then by the Luftwaffe. 

Once NATO left the airport in 1960, it becomes civilian, and undergo a major modernisation in 1980. Today it is used by a Flying club and a FTO.
The book (size 17x24; 68 pages), written in French, contains 105  photographies from past and present history of this airfield. readmore20  Read more
