Tunisia, Porto Farma airfield

Hello gents

According to the USAAF and generally US Army Signal Corps responsible, among others, for WWII era photographic service of the armed forces activities there was Porto Farma airfield in Tunisia. According to the Americans this Luftwaffe operated base was situated between Bizerte and Tunis. Maybe I am wrong, correct me if needed, but what they called then "Porto Farma airfield" it is hard to find in the other data dedicated to North African campaign. Do you know if various names of this air base were in use then? Did the Germans call this airfield in another way?

In June 1943 the US Army Signal Corps took big pictorial of the Luftwaffe wreckage at Porto Farma airfield as the Americans called this place. As can be seen at this pictorial it was a base of all Luftwaffe types of the aircraft. I posted below one of those pics. I would be thankful for your expertise what “Porto Farma” was and for whom, in what terminology (Allied? Tunisian? German?).

Regards

E.
