The Stars and Stripes, tail number N1A, crashed on June 16, 2005 in Coral Springs, Florida, when it was caught in a strong thunderstorm that eventually pushed the aircraft into trees and powerlines

I dont know if these aircraft ventured beyond a 'patch' and therefore suggest by way of country that this is in the USA and quite possibly Florida.

Certainly looks like Germany, but not sure it's Coleman. Should know Coleman really as it's almost on my doorstep, but it is an old pic

Thought it might be Hanau or Wiesbaden, but couldn't get anything to match.

Maybe Armstrong Heliport?

I don't know much about German airfields, but the control tower on the left looks like it is American.

Sorry gents, it is not Armstrong, Coleman Barracks, Hanau, Wesbaden, nor Lahnstuhl. It is in Germany however. The photo was taken in 1960. Here is a ground side view of the field's original hangar:
