Cold War Airfields

Explore historical airfields.

Between 1945 and 1990, there were more than 2000 small and large airfields and helipads in Germany alone, most of which have disappeared today. Mil-airfields.de has made it its task of documenting these aerodromes. A mammoth project that is still a long way from being completed. Although it is rather a continuous process, a lot of material has been gathered since the start of mil-airfields.de in 2000 and can be accessed here - also on related topics. And not only for Germany, but also for other European countries.
