Belrain Aerodrome

Belrain Aerodrome was a temporary World War I airfield in France. It was located 0.7 mi South of Belrain, in the Meuse department in the Lorraine region in northeastern France.

Overview
The airfield was built during the summer of 1918. It was used by the Air Service, United States Army. Beginning in September, 1918, it was the home of the 2d Pursuit Group during both the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne Offensives, with four squadrons of aircraft. In addition, the V Corps Observation Group had three squadrons of aircraft assigned to it.

In support of the flying squadrons, the 4th Air Park had a flight of mechanics for repair of both aircraft and vehicles. The ground support station consisted of various aircraft hangars, support buildings and quarters for personnel, primarily in the woods to the east of the airfield.

By the end of January, 1919, the Americans left and the airfield was abandoned and returned to agricultural use. Today it is a series of cultivated fields located on the south side of the Départmental 121 (D121), east of Frize-la-Brulee, with no indications of its wartime use.
