Description

Halesworth Airfield Museum

This website has been created to provide information about the airfield and the museum dedicated to it. During its short four year run of active service the airfield played host to some of World War Two's most influential participants. Mainly used as an American base, both the 56th Fighter Group and the 489th Bomb Group stayed here. Towards the end of the war and after it the base took on a rescue and training function before closing in February 1946.
