Great Ashfield was built for the USAAF in 1942 and assigned designation Station 138. The first aircraft to land on the station is believed to have been a battle-damaged B-26 Marauder returning from a raid over Holland on 17 May 1943. The airfield was opened on 19 June 1943 and was used by the United States Army Air Force Eighth Air Force 385th Bombardment Group (Heavy). The 385th arrived from Great Falls AAF Montana and was assigned to the 93d Combat Bombardment Wing. The group tail code was a "Square-G". Included in the download is an AI traffic BGL file that makes this base come to life. To get this file working, you must download and install 385th bomb group repaints for the Wings of Power B-17G by Chuck Lawsen, "Lil Audrey" and "Ole Doodle Bug". Hope you like it! Cees Donker
