About This File

FSX/P3D Scenery--Advanced Landing Ground A-1. This scenery package attempts to represent Advanced Landing Ground A-1 of the US 9th AAF. ALG A-1 was one of 29 Advanced Landing Grounds that dotted the Cotentin Peninsula. Construction of this airfield was started three days after D-Day on June 9th, 1944 by the 834th Engineer Aviation Battalion. At first it was in service as "ELS A-1", an Emergency Landing Strip. It had a 3400x120 foot un-tracked (grass/dirt) runway and was used mainly by small observation aircraft. There after it was expanded and enhanced with a 5000x150 foot SMT/PSP runway and 50 dispersal points. The 366th Fighter Group (P-47’s) of the 9th USAAF occupied the airfield on June 17th, 1944. From here the 366th FG (389th FS, 390th FS and 391st FS) mounted close air support to allied troops advancing thorough the bocage country and beyond. The runway was large enough to handle aircraft such as the C-47 and B-26. By Terry Flemming.

dels,

Thanks for the kind words! ALG-11's (Saint Lambert) release is imminent. To be followed by ALG-7 (Azeville / Fontenay), just north of Sainte-M%u00E8re-%u00C9glise.

Outstanding! My uncle George was in the 101st AB Division and was in Normandy on D-Day after landing there in a glider...

Kaman,

Thank you for your encouragement. Men like your Uncle George are the reason I do this scenery. They are remembered by the French people of this region. God bless them all for their sacrifices. My Dad flew 35 missions with the 91st BG. He lived to raise a family and tell his stories of this conflict. Many did not. We owe a great debt to them all, Americans, British, Canadians, Polish, French , Belgians and Dutch. Sorry if I messed some that should be included, please add them if so inclined.

Hi Terry,

 

Thanks for all of your WWII sceneries! That's what I missed for P3dv3. There are almost no sceneries for that era.

And your sceneries re nicly detailed and offer great sounds from gulls, starting engines and fast flyovers of warbirds.

 

Thanks!
