Talk:Chippelle Airfield

The location of A-5 is totally in error. La Chapelle en Jager was behind German lines until it was captured on July 25, 1944. It was in fact a Ninth Air Force target of the Operation Cobra bombing preparation and was largely destroyed. A-5 was located 15 miles to the northeast, called "Chippelle", near the hamlet of St. Martin de Blagny, just north of the Foret de Crisy. The advanced headquarters of SHAEF near Tournieres was two miles southeast of A-5.-Reedmalloy (talk) 08:23, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
