Construction on Rougham Airfield, officially known as RAF Bury St Edmunds,
commenced in 1941 and work was completed in the following year. It comprised of
three runways, the main tracking East/West with a 2000 yard length, along with
two additional intersecting runways, two hangers, technical and personnel
buildings. In September 1942 the airfield opened, and was used by the United
States Army Air Force as a bomber base until it was returned to the Royal Air
Force in December 1945.
