WW2 Secret Atlantic Airfield - Portuguese Azores

WW2 Secret Atlantic Airfield

Portuguese Azores

By Frank’s MS Flight Sim

 

 

Come visit the Portuguese Azores in the mid-north Atlantic and see how these beautiful islands, although officially neutral in WW2, greatly helped the Allies. Visit the two main WW2 airfields including one kept secret during construction to protect Portugal's "neutrality". See some scenic sights as we fly between the two airfields. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Thanks for this very interesting and educational video.  Having flown into and out of Lajes AB (LPLA) many, many times IRL it brought back a lot of great memories.  Didn't know much about the WWII background of the base so learned something new here.  The Azores are truly beautiful islands.  Hidden gems in mid-Atlantic.

Thanks so much. So pleased when good memories are brought back. How fortunate are you to have flown there IRL so often! Cheers.
