It was located 3.0 miles (4.8 km) north of Coulommiers, in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.

The airfield was built in June 1918 in some haste as the German armies where were pushing through Allied forces towards Paris, on the River Marne.

One French escadrille (SPA 124) was stationed as early as June 4, giving way to the I Corps Observation Group, with headquarter and three squadrons, providing aerial reconnaissance and artillery observation over the lines northwest of Château-Thierry: It was a very active sector with many enemy aircraft.

Today it is a series of cultivated fields located to the northwest of Coulommiers, at the crossroad of D 44 and a small road near the farm called "Les Fermiers", as shown on the photograph, with no indication of this short aviation activity.
