Wow! That's ambitious. Best of luck!

FWIW, there has been a lot of research done on the WW2 airfields in that part of the world, much of it for other games.

It should be possible to get period aerial photographs of most of the Luftwaffe airbases along the English Channel ca. 1940.

For examples of work done for other games (which might include period maps in the read-me):

If you're going to be starting from 1944 and working back, also consider adding "Mulberry Harbor" objects, since these would be crucial targets for any hypothetical Luftwaffe counterattack.
