Lagens Field was used in the final years of the Atlantic campaign for anti-U-Boat warfare in the Azores Gap; it also acted as an aircraft service facility for planes making a transatlantic flight. I am attempting to identify which aircraft maintenance units from the US Army Air Forces were stationed at Lagens Field from 1944-1945, does anyone know where such a list can be found?

I'm rather surprised that the Germans doesn't know about the Azores Gap Islands and that there were no bombing attacks at all at that area.

Hi Edward,
The return flight from the nearest Axis-held airfields would be about 4,500 kilometers, and these were lost in August 1944.
What type of aircraft are you proposing to use?
Cheers,
Sid
