Saint-Pierre-la-Vieille is a former commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Condé-en-Normandie.
After the liberation of the area by troops of the British 50th infantry division in 1944, engineers of the Ninth Air Force IX Engineering Command began construction of a combat Advanced Landing Ground outside of the town. Declared operational on 14 August, the airfield was designated as "A-19", it was used by the 370th Fighter Group which flew P-38 Lightnings until early September when the unit moved into Central France.
