R.A.F Barkston Heath
In late 1943, Barkston Heath was made available to the United States Army Air Force’s Ninth Air Force.
It was earmarked for basing troop carrier units scheduled to be transferred from
Sicily to participate in the forthcoming cross-Channel invasion,
Operation Overlord. During its time as a USAAF airfield, Barkston Heath
was designated as USAAF station 483.
