Stoney Cross was opened in November 1942 and was used by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force. Due to its location and the topography of the land, the airfield had an unusual runway layout however still conforming to the Class A airfield standard set by the Air Ministry. It had one main runway, aligned 07/25, with two secondary runways, aligned 01/19 and 15/33; a large number of frying-pan type dispersal pads with a few loops connecting to an enclosing perimeter track, of a standard width of 50 feet.
