WWII Bluie East Two airfield – Greenland

Yes, and BE2 was only a small USAAF airfield operational 1942-47 – so it wasn’t used that much!

But, I’m researching the landing of a Barkley-Grow T8P-1 aircraft registered CF-BMV off the coast of Angmagssalik on her way to BE2 December 22, 1942 (it sank shortly after landing on thin sea ice, no one was hurt)

At this time BE2 had already a 4000ft gravel runway and it was used during the epic B-17 rescue mission.

The handbook covers the North Atlantic Air route for US aircraft transiting between the US and Europe and as such has airfield plates for the selected US, Canadian, Greenland, UK and European airfields used most along the route.

Ah, thanks for the hint! There must be something similar for the eastcoast of Greenland!

Unfortunately this one does not cover Bluie East 2 but it does have approach plates for Bluies West 1, 3, 8 and 9
