Tunisia, Porto Farma airfield

[Empiricist]

One more interesting thing. If we look at the map of North African campaign it is clearly seen that El Alouina is not the US sector of operations. Theoretically it was British sector. I found an event of 325th FG which took place on August 10th, 1943. It was very good opportunity to take a photo of the LW aero schrott. Maybe US Army Signal Corps is wrong with its description of this pictorial? Or the American trips took place many times to this place also before August?

The event was as follows and everybody can read it under http://www.325thfg.org/325his.htm

A welcome interlude in the ceaseless round of combat missions was the visit 10 August by Bob Hope and his company, including Frances Langford, Jack Pepper, and Tony Romano. A delegation from the 325th Fighter Group met the actors at El Alouina Airport in Tunis and flew them back to Mateur in a B-25 bomber. After lunch in the Group Headquarters mess hall, the Hope company presented a performance on a temporary stage behind the big Nissen hut chapel. The visit of these entertainers was one of the biggest morale builders the group had had since leaving the States.
