Oberpfaffenhofen
Moin,
ich habe hier eine .kmz-Datei mit einem Overlay, daß den FP Oberpfaffenhofen zeigt, Quelle weiß ich nicht mehr, könnte aber GoogleCrack oder so ähnlich gewesen sein.
Mich intressiert das (ungefähre) Aufnahmedatum und WAS und warum es dort steht. Die Massierung an Flugzeugen und die Tatsache, daß es ein (offenbar alliiertes) Aufklärungsfoto ist, lassen vermuten, daß es eigentlich nur alliierte Maschinen sein können. Aber warum so viele? Gabs da mal eine Parade?
Grüße
Jürgen

The USAAF during the Berlin Airlift made here their two-hundred-hour checks for the C-54s.

Also you can see many B-17s Bomber, Fighter aircraft and C-47s.

Hallo,
nachfolgen mal einige Informationen, die ich schon vor vielen Jahren vom damaligen Historiker der USAFE erhalten habe:
Oberpfaffenhofen was a hard-surfaced field which a detachment from the 833 Aviation Engineer Bn put into operation on the 5th May 45. A part of the runway was used for the Supply & Evacuation strip and it became a TAC Air Depot. It became the chief storage area of complete aircraft. The mission was to reclaim and salvage aircraft, to maintain in storage aircraft not allocated to salvage or sales, to remove from storage and prepare for flyaway delivery including flight testing of aircraft authorized for delivery to foreign governments or disposal through OFLC (Office of Foreign Liquidation Commissioner) and to perform field maintenance of assigned aircraft.
During the Berlin Airlift in Jul 48, Oberpfaffenhofen was assigned to the Airlift Task Force (Prov). The Oberpfaffenhofen Air Force Depot was charged with the responsibility for performing all 200-hour inspections and field maintenance on C-54 aircraft and requisitioned its needed supplies from the Rhein-Main base. The depot also provided electronics Maintenance for the Airlift Task Force, including both radio and radar repair. These operations began 5 Aug 48 and lasted until 18 Nov when the work was shifted to a new air depot at Burtonwood in the UK.
Oberpfaffenhofen struggled to perform the 200-hour inspections and overhauls of the task force's C-54s (GIs, incidentally, struggled with the depot's name, calling it "Obie" or "Oberhuffinpuffin ... ). As noted earlier, work began 7 August on an interim basis until the major wartime depot at Burtonwood, England, reopened to handle this work. Five days later General Tunner set a goal for "Obie" of six C-54s a day instead of five. USAFE transferred 100 mechanics from Rhein-Main to help the depot, which had already committed 90 percent of its workforce to airlift support. In August, the depot averaged only four planes a day. Planes tended to arrive in groups rather than in an even flow, causing congestion and lost time at the first work station. The amount of work each Skymaster needed varied considerably, also disrupting a smooth flow through the facility. Installation of a new de-icer boot added 200 man-hours per aircraft. By late September, 450 mechanics were hard at work at the depot, 395 of them on loan from the airlift task force. Despite an erratic flow of spares, especially critical shortages of replacement engines and tires', they completed 45 planes in August, 108 in September, 139 in October, and 96 in November.
