RAF Alconbury

RAF Alconbury is a Royal Air Force station located in Cambridgeshire, England, established in 1938. During World War II, it served as a base for both RAF and United States Army Air Forces bomber and reconnaissance units, playing a vital role in the air campaign over Europe. After the war, RAF Alconbury became a key site for the United States Air Force during the Cold War, hosting various reconnaissance and tactical fighter squadrons. Though flying operations ceased in 1995, the base continues to support USAF activities and remains an important administrative and support center.
