East Moor Airfield. March 1944 (1 Viewer)

[jay hammond]

I am trying to find an airfield schematic of East Moor in the March-April 1944 time period. I am not so much interested in mess location, different shops, etc. I hope to find a schematic sowing the runways, control tower, position of all known gun and defensive emplacements, bomb dump, perimeter track, and other track, search lights, ground crew huts, location of A and B Flight frying pan dispersals and any other remarkable features. I'm not interested in any topographical information.
