Merignac Airdrome bombed
UNDERGROUND AIRCRAFT PLANT - These twisted steel girders once supported a big hanger at Merignac Airdrome, near Bordeaux, which U.S. Army 8th Air Force heavies bombed out of commission as an important Nazi operational field and as the site of an FW-190 assembly plant. This is the kind of destruction which drove the plant underground.
