HistoryBrétigny Air Base was built prior to World War II as a French Air Force facility. German use during World War IISeized by the Germans in June 1940 during the Battle of France, Brétigny was used as a Luftwaffe military airfield during the occupation. Known units assigned (all from Luftlotte 3, Fliegerkorps IV):[1][2]
August 1942-20 March 1944 Junkers Ju 88A 20 March-14 June 1944 Junkers Ju 188A/E 10 July-1 September 1944 Junkers Ju 88A, Junkers Ju 188E 14 July-1 September 1944 Junkers Ju 88A
KG 51, KG 54 and KG 30 all took part in night bombing raids over England; KG6 also to a lesser degree as fuel shortages began restricting night bomber missions; JG 1 was a day interceptor unit against Eighth Air Force heavy bombers. It was attacked on several occasions by heavy bombers of both the United States Army Air Force Eighth Air Force during 1943 and early 1944.[3][4] American useIt was liberated by Allied ground forces about 27 August 1944 during the Northern France Campaign. Almost immediately, the USAAF IX Engineering Command 825th Engineer Aviation Battalion began clearing the base of mines and destroyed Luftwaffe aircraft; filling bomb craters in both runways with rubble and a Pierced Steel Planking patch along with repairing operational facilities for use by American aircraft. Subsequently, Brétigny became a USAAF Ninth Air Force combat airfield, designated as "A-48" about 29 August, only a few days after its capture from German forces.[5] Almost immediately, the repaired base became home to numerous combat units.[6]
The Americans returned control of the base to the French Air Force in August 1945 and it returned to being a French military airfield.[7] post WW2After the war, the base was completely rebuilt, with a new 9000' (3000m) jet runway laid down parallel to the wartime 05/23 main. The wartime runway was reduced in width, resurfaced with asphalt and reused as a taxiway. The secondary 11/29 was also refurbished, however it was closed for the past few years. Aerial photography of the base shows it recently marked with an excellent concrete surface. New hangars and support facilities were built along with a new support area. The base was a modern, fully equipped NATO base. CurrentThe base has been decommissioned from military usage in 2012 See also{{Portal|World War II}}
