Eugene Spearman’s story “Our New Home at Grafton Underwood” (see my April 27, 2016 post) prompted me to start looking at how the Grafton Underwood Airfield was laid out. I found a few site plan documents which I’ll include now. In future posts planned for June of this year, I will try to identify or define what some of the locations on the plan are and include whatever pictures I can that would be helpful to envision the airfield during WWII.
