Re: FW 200 Calado Airfield
Hi all,
I’d like to make a side note on that airfield.
Calato was a small village, where the italians (Rodi was a part of Italy since 1912) builted fuel and ammunition dumps and quarters. The airfield, one of the three builted by Italians on the island, was coded N.806 by Regia Aeronautica and was in the flood plan of the Gaddura river, just North of Calato. It was usually called (and still is indeed) Gadurrą.
After the sept 1943 the Germans used the italian infrastructure in Calato as military prison.
Sorry the digression.
ciao a tutti
