WW2 Airfield, Cannock, W Midlands?

I am hoping somebody will be able to help me. I have tried to find out before asking here but to no avail.
Whilst doing my PPL training at Halfpenny Green I flew over Cannock several times on cross country exercises. On many of these my instructor was with me and on several occasions mentioned that he had heard that a WW2 airfield used to exist there, possibly on the, now wooded, higher ground. We never saw any sign of one but my curiosity has now got the better of me again and I wondered if any of you had any knowledge of such an airfield.
