Ferme de Moras Aerodrome
Ferme de Moras Aerodrome, was a temporary World War I airfield in France. It was East of the commune of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.Overview
The airfield was a temporary facility created by the French Aeronautique Militaire in late 1917, operational until December 1918, which means that it probably consisted of several wood-and-fabric "Bessonneau" hangars, plus wooden huts.
It was used for a short spell during summer 1918 by the I Corps Observation Group, during the Aisne-Marne Offensive Campaign. The two group's squadrons, 1st and 12th Aero Squadron operated from the field until moving out at the beginning of August to May-en-Multien Aerodrome, as did the group's HQ.
The last French "escadrille" left on 1 December 1918, and the airfield was soon cleared of all its building and returned to agricultural use. Today it is a series of cultivated fields located on the plateau 2 miles east of La Ferté sous Jouarre, north of D 407.Known units assigned
