Mythical places
In la Manche and Normandy, the territories are forever marked by events linked to the war and the landings. It is by the evocation of mythical names that visitors identify Normandy: Utah beach, Omaha Beach and their sisters of pain, Colleville, Sainte-Mère church. Some are less known but remain forever etched in the hearts of veterans and their families, such as the A10 airfield on which the museum is located. Here is a series of articles on mythical places.
The A10 Airfield at Carentan, an American airfield in 1944
Did you know? The Normandy Victory Museum is located on a historically famous former American military airfield: the A10 Airfield. It is still in operation and small aircraft can still use its shortened 400 metre long runway.
