Declared operational on 5 July, the airfield was designated as "A-5", it was used by the 404th Fighter Group which flew P-47 Thunderbolts until the end of August when the unit moved into Central France. Afterward, the airfield was closed.[2][3] This can't be correct as the village and the surrounding area wasn't liberated until 26 July, following Operation COBRA. See also
