: If you download google earth you can view satelite images of the old ww2 air bases. YOu can zoom in and see the buildings. Its fasinating then you can enter towns in germany and it will take you there. Kinda like the missions must have been flown. I hope some of you enjoy this I sure have as I lost my brother a tailgunner there.
Try THURLEIGH, BEDFORDSHIRE, long time home of 306thBG.Post war becamemajor researh centre,
(for then) very long runway, althoughyou can see remnants of wartime concrete. Satellite photographs very good, and can see literally thousands of new cars parked on concrete. Google images vary in resolution, probably Google buy from variety of commercial providers
