Re: Luftwaffe Air Bases in Tunisia
Andrew and Morten are right.
Mezzouna (today: Al Mazzünah) – 86 km almost due west of Sfax, and
Maknassy (today: Al Miknäsi) – 106 km almost due west of Sfax and about 21 km past Messouna.
They were both situated along a railway line and therefore relatively easy to keep supplied with fuel and ordnance.
Source:
British Air Ministry A.I.2(b) map show all Tunisian airfields and dated approximately March 1943; in: British NA AIR 40/1968.
But your best bet is to purchase their find study of Fw 190 operations in Tunisia which includes color maps of the country that give the locations of most airfields.
