Tunisia, Porto Farma airfield

[Empiricist]

Hi friends

Teamwork operates very well, as we can see. Thank you very much for all your replies. Perhaps commonly we will discover what the Americans meant as a “Porto Farma airfield” in Tunisia. Luftwaffe types spectrum that can be seen at this so-called Porto Farma is wide. There are at least Ju 52, Hs 129, Fw 190, Bf 109, Me 323 and Ju 88.

Gianandrea: Fortunately the US signaler took a photo of Fw 190 you mentioned. I am posting it for you for better thinking where are we when we talk “Porto Farma” according to the US Army Signal Corps. Maybe this is it -- Tunis-El Aouina (as the RAF's map indicates) or Tunis-El Alouina as the book quoted informs.



Just in case am posting one more pic from this airfield. Perhaps it will be good indicator as well.



Nick: Valuable and useful map. Thank you very much. Thanks to it perhaps we are closer to discover what the GIs meant as a “Porto Farma”. If the dots mark various class airfields we do have for our choice as follows: Tunis-El Aouina (Gianandrea's info), Tunis-Foche Ville, Gamrat, Ariana, La Marsa, Sebala II, Kassar Said, Protville-Utique, Protville I, Protville II, Mateur Bel Aid, Mateur II, Bir Gueniche, Ferryville, perhaps also Djedeida NW, Djedeida SE, El Bathan.

Maybe LW units markings will help LW fans to recognize this place for sure and a hundred percent though I think that Gianandrea may be very close of truth.

One more time thank you very much for your interesting and time.

Best regards

E.
