Historical Basis

Vliegveld Ypenburg or Ypenburg Airport was a Dutch airport in the municipality of Rijswijk, located in the South of the Netherlands and in operation between 1936 and 1991.
Serving initially as a civillian airport but requisitioned as a military airbase during the Second World War, it came to be known then as Flugplatz Den Haag. The name Ypenburg stems from the country estate by the same name, which was located on the former Steenweg, now Delftweg from Den Haag to Rotterdam.
It became abandoned in 1992 by the Royal Netherlands Air Force, with the airfield serving as a site for construction of a residential area in 1997.
