Does anyone by chance have a listing of Luftwaffe Airfields in North Africa?

Thanks!

I noticed it all went quiet after this request so did a little 'digging'. I think a definitive answer may be difficult to find - here, for example, is my own by-no-means-definitive list of the various North African Airfields/landing strips used by JG27 : -

Ain el Gazala
Martuba
Gambut
Tmimi
Magrun
Arco Philaendrum
Sidi Barrani
Quasaba
Turbiya

Some of which I should think are just fly-specks on the map....

Thanks Martin! I just now saw your reply.

Rick atkinson in "An Army At Dawn" VERY breifly touches on air units -from either side- in Afrika. And I was interested in finding out a little more about the German troop bulild-up after the initial invasion, and then the airstikes throughout the campaign.

I'm sure these will give me more to go on.

Thanks again! [img]graemlins/salute.gif[/img]
