Italian military airfields

Fri Apr 03, 2020 3:16 pm

Real simple question - what did the Italians call their military airfields during WWII ?

I know the Luftwaffe had different names for the different type of fields, but all I can find for the Italian fields is " Aeroporto di " - which would be correct for a civilian airfield....

It also seems silly {?} that every airport name is Airport of (city name).

Just trying to get my head around the proper terminology of these targets.


So:

Military Airfield ?

Landing Ground ?

Auxiliary Field ?

Test and Research ?

Seaplane base ?

Hmmm, never gave it much thought before... I'd be interested in this info as well.
