ALG Runway types
#1

Hey,

I'm doing some forward thinking about the later build of my Channel map (1942-44) and I'm planning on including about 3 ALG for the USAAF to fly from. Reading about them, I've found references to different materials used for surfacing - Sommerfield Track, Marston Matting, Pierced Steel Planks, Prefabricated Bitumenised blah blah. - I'm lost!

Does anyone have any decent pictures of these surfaces? Has anyone made any new runway textures that accurately portray them?

Also, on a closely related note, are there are really important USAAF airfields I jus have to include? SO far I've got Christchurch, Lymington, Ashford and Woodchurch. You can see the extent of coverage of England here:

So, are there some key airfields I'm missing? I can't really add more than one or two more, but since my USAAF knowledge has some holes, I'm keen to hear Smile

Thanks

Joe
