Full-scale construction of Gosfield was resumed in August and by mid-October 1943 the main elements of the landing area had been completed.

The 833rd Engineer Aviation Battalion arrived in October 1943 and helped complete Gosfield, including buildings and the drainage system.

On 5 April 1944 Martin B-26 Marauders of the 397th Bombardment Group started to arrive at Gosfield after a trans-Atlantic crossing from Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia by the southern route via Africa.

Operational squadrons of the group were: Following the Allied break-out from the Normandy beachhead in late July, and the subsequent sweep across France.

The group returned to the United States during the summer of 1945, and was inactivated at Myrtle Beach AAF, South Carolina on 7 November 1945.

With the end of hostilities jurisdiction subsequently passed from one RAF headquarters to another until Gosfield airfield was closed down during February 1946.

The group of buildings in the control tower area survived and were developed for light engineering and plant hire operations and are in use.
