Dôle-Tavaux Airport (IATA: DLE, ICAO: LFGJ). is an airport in France, located just to the southest of Tavaux, in the Jura department in the Franche-Comté region.
The airport is used for general aviation, with no commercial airline service.
World War II
During World War II the airport was used by the German Luftwaffe during the occupation of France as an Air intelligence training facility (Luftnachrichten-Ausbildungs-Regiment 302). It was attacked by the United States Army Air Force on several occasions in the spring of 1944. After the airfield was liberated by Allied forces in early September 1944, the United States Army Air Forces IX Engineer Command repaired the airfield and made it ready for operational use by combat units. The field was made ready by 15 September. It was known as Dôle/Tavaux Airfield or Advanced Landing Ground Y-7. Units that were assigned to the airfield were:
- 320th Bombardment Group, 1 Apr-18 Jun 1945, B-25 Mitchell (12th AF)
- 324th Fighter Group, 20 Sep 1944-4 Jan 1945, P-40 Warhawk (12th AF)
- 371st Fighter Group, 1 Oct-20 Dec 1944, P-47 Thunderbolt, (9th AF)
With the end of the war in Europe in May, 1945 the Americans began to withdraw their aircraft and personnel. Control of the airport was returned to French civil authorities on 17 July 1945.[1]
