A U.S. Aircraft takes off from Chièvres Air Base (then known as A-84), Belgium, in Feb. 1945. During World War 2, U.S. and British forces used the base to launch air support for missions, including the Allied crossing of the Rhine River during Operation Plunder and a vaunted campaign in the Belgian Ardennes that proved to the biggest and bloodiest battle Americans fought.
