Overview

The airfield was a temporary facility used by the French Aeronautique Militaire from early June 1918, most likely consisting of no more than a few tents, then later for a very short period on 5–10 August by the I Corps Observation Group as a forward operating airfield during the Aisne-Marne Offensive Campaign. Its HQ and two squadrons, the 1st and 12th Aero Squadron operated from the field until moving out during the middle of August to Coincy Aerodrome.

It was then once again used by the French Air Service on 7–21 September 1918. By the time of the Armistice, the airfield had already been returned to agricultural use.

gollark: This cannot possibly go wrong.
gollark: > This may be because synthesized faces tend to look more like average faces which themselves are deemed more trustworthy They *do* suggest your explanation in the paper, actually.
gollark: Apparently this is mostly due to them explaining the artifacts which are common in synthetic ones, but newer methods don't really have those as much anyway.
gollark: Experiment 2 is after they take some new people and train them on how to detect synthetic ones.
gollark: so that doesn't seem right.
