Congrats Asturias! Bonn-Hangelar it is...

This has been quite an important airfield (and it was Bonn city's airfield before the war) during the last months of the war and was home to the infamous "Wilde Sau" system JG300 and JG301 squadrons...Those were daylight single engine fighters sent to down the bombers at night under ground control...Loss rate was impressive, the pilots of these aircraft being not at ease with instrument/night flying, and the weather at night end of 44 was...not good for aircraft without any icing protection...

Asturias you have the helm!
