Fliegerhorst Querqueville was used by Jagdgeschwader 2 (JG 2) "Richthofen" during the Battle of Britain.

It operated g Bf 109Es over the South Coast of England and the English Channel.

After they were destroyed by Allied aircraft, the Germans simply pushed them onto the beach.

The 830th EAB then proceeded to convert Querqueville into a transport airfield, designated ALG A-23.

Immediately after the war it was used by both the RAF and USAAF 27th Air Transport Group (ATC) as the location where captured German military aircraft were brought to in preparation to the transport to the UK and USA as part of "Operation Lusty".
