Cordinates JG 77 feldflugplatze Salemi, Sicily summer 1943

Hy,
one my favourite books is Messerschmitts over Sicily by J. Stheinhoff, may be also because I spent my holidays in Selinunte where from my house look on the see I have on the left Sciacca on the right Capo Granitola and behind Castelvetrano (Castelvetrano and Sciacca important airfields during the II W.W.), but about Salemi forward airfield (12 km north from Castelvetrano) nobody remember something. Sometimes during the hot summer days with the haze on the sea is not difficult immagine the hard days and the air-battle fought in the Trapani Pantelleria Palermo triangle before the invasion of Sicily.

I have found in Steinhoff's book the first description of this airfield and last year two pics in Jagdwaffe Vol.four Section 4 The Mediterranean 1943-1945 by J.R. Roba & M. Pegg.

I would like to know the coordinates because I want try to find the location (yes, I know was a real primitive airfield) but why don't try ?

Happy New Year at all

Francesco M. Lentini
