Talk:Dole–Jura Airport

I would like to point out that whilst the article states that "During World War II the airport was used by the German Luftwaffe...", it does not note that this period of use by the Luftwaffe was following the invasion of France during May and June of 1940. My research / has turned up that 'Dôle-Tavaux', the previous name of this place, correctly stipulated by the article, was in fact in use by GR (Groupes de Reconnaissance) I/33 of the French Air Force (Armée de L’Air). Could I request an amendment to highlight this fact? Foxsch (talk) 15:06, 24 September 2014 (UTC) Further research reveals that the Airport can trace its origins to as far back as 1936, when the French Military authorities designated an area to become a relief landing ground for the military air base at Dijon[wiki link], then referred to as Dijon - Longvic. Work continued at the field with major fuel installations, workshops and Bessonneau Hangars[wiki link], being constructed amid various attempts at camouflaging, or disguising the airfields location, as was common at that time, up until the outbreak or war. From the 3rd September up until November of 1939, Dole-Tavaux becomes home for Groupe de Reconnaissance GR I / 35. Groupe de Bombardement II/32 replace them until December 15th. Between 2nd April and 3rd June 1940, the station becomes home for Groupe de Reconnaissance GR I/33. On the 10th May 1940, the air base was the secondary target for the Luftwaffe units that were ordered to bomb the city of Dijon, and mistakenly bombed the German City of Freiburg.
