Information. Winkton Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) was built in 1943 as a temporary aerodrome to support the planned Allied invasion of Europe. In the early summer of 1944 the ALG was opened with the arrival of the United States 9th Air Force's 404th Fighter Bomber Group. The 404th consisted of 506, 507 and 508 squadrons, all of which operated the P47 Thunderbolt fighters. The operational role of the 404th was to use the P47 as a tactical fighter primarily deployed for ground attack. Photographs If you have any Photographs you would like to share please get in touch.
