Royal Air Force Eye or more simply RAF Eye is a former Royal Air Force station located 11 miles northeast of Stowmarket, Suffolk, England on the northwest edge of Eye and south of Diss.
Eye was a standard Class A airfield for heavy bombers. The U.S. Army 829th Engineer Battalion began construction of this WWII air base in September 1942, with the 827th Battalion arriving that December to assist. The 859th Battalion arrived in May of the following year when the 829th Battalion left. The bulk of the work was done in the summer of 1943 with the 827th setting records in pouring concrete while the 859th made their mark in building construction. Additional work was performed by British contractors.
