However, we found an individual at the museum who had some knowledge of the area. He recognised the airfield as \u2018US Base B\u2019 when the Americans arrived, but only as a farm beforehand, discrediting the experimental flights during this time.\u00a0It seems less flying took place here during the Great War than we previously thought!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">This personal account will help take our research in a different direction, and we look forward to presenting our findings soon.
