Former Germanic airport in Chojnice.
There was also a German airport in Chojnice, which was established before the great world war. The airport was in the north-eastern part of Chojnice, in the fields near the municipal cemetery. Currently, between Gdańska and Kościerska Streets. After Poland regained independence, the landing field became a training ground for the 66th Infantry Regiment.
