Carentan Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield, which is located near the commune of Carentan in the Basse-Normandie region of northern France. Located just outside of Carentan, the United States Army Air Force established a temporary airfield 15 June 1944, nine days after the first Allied landings in France on D-Day and only three days after the capture of Carentan. The airfield was one of the first established in the liberated area of Normandy, being constructed by the IX Engineering Command, 826th Engineer Aviation Battalion.
