Hilversum Airfield (Dutch: Vliegveld Hilversum) (ICAO: EHHV) is a general aviation aerodrome 2.2 NM (4.1 km; 2.5 mi) south-southwest of Hilversum, a municipality and town in the Gooi region and the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. The airfield is used for general aviation including gliding and for parachuting. As it became clear that the field was going to be lost to allied forces, German military destroyed most of the field, to prevent use by the allied forces. After the war, the airport remained under military control briefly, but reopened to civil traffic again in 1948.
