Re: Temporary landing grounds?
John,
Perhaps not an especially laid out airfield as such, but Tanajib was used as a forward base for USMC Harriers during Desert Storm.
And the amphibious carrier USS Nassau was also used as an Harrier platform.
There also was the forward Lonesome Dove base near Al Khanjar (spelled like this), but I believe this was for USMC helicopter operations only.
Regards,
Leendert
