New photos of Le Bourget (A-54)

I just recently posted some new photos I have of Le Bourget Airfield (A-54), just outside Paris. This is the same airfield into which Charles Lindberg flew in 1927 Le Bourget now serves as the National Air and Space Museum of France

Consolidating in Normandy

I just found this British Movietone film on Youtube. It has scenes of the aviation engineers building an airfield at 1:32 and a couple IX Engineer Command trucks at 3:02.
