FSX/P3D Scenery--Advanced Landing Ground A-11. This freeware scenery package attempts to represent Advanced Landing Ground A-11 of the US 9th AAF. ALG A-11 was one of 29 Advanced Landing Grounds that dotted the Cotentin Peninsula. The airfield was located near Saint Lambert Normandy. The airfield consisted of a single 5000' (1500 m) Square-Mesh Track / Compressed Earth runway aligned 05/23. In addition, tents were used for billeting and also for support facilities; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure; a dump for supplies, ammunition, and gasoline drums, along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting. Construction was started on July 27th, 1944. The initial operational date was August 6th, 1944. The P-38’s of the 474th Fighter Group flew close air support support missions during the Allied invasion of Normandy from this airfield. The airfield was vacated by September 5th, 1944 as the Allies pushed quickly into France. Be sure to check the pdf for additional historical information.
