Langford Lodge Airfield on the east coast of Lough Neagh near Crumlin operated as a base for both the R.A.F. and the U.S.A.A.F. during the Second World War.
Many aviation incidents that occurred in Northern Ireland and the surrounding area involved planes departing from the airfield at Langford Lodge, Co. Antrim.
Langford Lodge Airfield was a busy hub throughout the Second World War. Many planes bound for the U.S.A.A.F. base tragically failed to reach their destination.
