It covers a big area but yes.

Aerodrome de Laval Entrammes |
Aeroport de Laval ?

SLB wins by a minute.
I had a total of 88hrs flying experience when this picture was taken. Currently the logbook says 14,421hrs. |
Thanks Flap, Nice way of giving a clue. Dit not see the last question about pays de Loire. as I was looking around Fougeres. Now this inspired by Courchevel: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....833799d93.jpeg |
This image looks computer generated. :*
|
Google earth pro It has the normal overhead photos laid over the terrain heights with 3D generated buildings. Amazing isn’t it? |
In Europe or somewhere else,far away...?
|
Europe indeed |
Zermatt ?..
|
No die Schweiss was neutral in WW2. |
Where does WW2 come into this ?
|
Just another clue use it! |
I assume you are pointing to Deutschland.

Hotel Campo Imperatore
|
No although it is Luftwaffe related |

Hotel Campo Imperatore it is The Grand Sasso raid to free il Duce. Glider landing area and Storch take off. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3f1d160b0.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3ae6335c6.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f58bdc620.jpeg |
Thank you. I couldn't see an airfield, and the WW2 link and the Axis made me think of the raid to release Il Duce.
Here's the next challenge https://oengyg.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
I couldn't see an airfield either because it wasn't one !!
|
Italy? Is that a Liberator poking its nose in? |
Any connection with the Battle of Salamaua ?
|
It isn't Italy, but it is a Liberator, and nothing to do with the Battle of Salamaua
|
Pacific ?..
|
The position & lay out of the Airfield seems not unlike Ras al Haad in Oman, but the terrain inland would count this out.
|
Laiohe76 - looks like Ras al Haad doesn't it, but as you said, the terrain inland isn't a match.
However, dook does have a hit with the Pacific. |
I have been looking at the Philippines with no luck.
I have noticed something unusual about the airfield. |
you wouldn't have any luck in that location.
You do know how this is going to end don't you? You'll narrow it down and then ……….. :) |
Yes - so I'll shut up and wait...…...
|
You can't stop now.
What's the unusual thing you've noticed? Does this make it clearer? (very much larger image) |
I'm not saying, but it doesn't help in my search.
|
In the course of `travels around the Pacific`,this;"zeamerseagerbeavers.com" ,might help....
|
sycamore - not sure what that means?
|
I'm not sure either.
Some parts allude to Papua New Guinea but I've looked there, and there are also references to Australia. |
I'll put us out of our misery, in that the airfield is in neither of those locations.
|
New Caledonia ?
edit: is the Liberator from the Seventh Air Force ? |

Jay Zeamer’s Eager Beavers But not much is revealed in the limited amount of photos that are accessible. Mentio to be Operating mainly in Solomon Islands New Ireland? SLB |
Not New Caledonia.
The Eager beavers are not a clue posted by me, so as far as I'm aware they have nothing to do with this image, so not Solomon Islands, or New Ireland. The Liberator is not from the 7th Air Force. |
I'm still on the case.
Fifth Air Force ? edit: are we near Yap ? I wonder if the photo is from December 1943 What I saw in the photo last night is a lake in the middle of the airfield. |
Not 5th Air Force either
Not Yap. I'm fairly sure that the photo is later than 1943. |
It is more than probable that the challenge is an island being used as a navigation waypoint between the operating base and a target so are we closer to Japan ?
13th Air Force ? |
