As far as Poland ?

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 11:30

Poland is too far north.

sycamore 10th Oct 2018 11:53

Think it may be Rumania,or Hungary...

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 11:58

Romania too far east, Hungary still too far north.

How about Yugoslavia.

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 12:03

Well that's the country narrowed down :ok:

dook 10th Oct 2018 12:49

I have a list of 130 WW2 airfields there.

I may be away for some time !!!

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 14:16

How are you getting on ?

dook 10th Oct 2018 14:33

Slowly !

It seems that there is no evidence of Luftwaffe activity at many Yugoslav airfields.

Was this one used by the Luftwaffe ?

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 15:11

Was being bombed by the Allies, so I guess so :)

dook 10th Oct 2018 16:01

But may have not been German.

Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia (Zrakoplovstvo Nezavisne Države Hrvatske, ZNDH

Nothing coming up though.

Food for thought:

A great deal of misleading information is published about Allied air raids.

nvubu 10th Oct 2018 16:29

The images were taken by B17s of the 15th AAF.

When I search for the name of the airfield, the results always show the modern field not this one.

Also, not Croatia.

It does have an ICAO code. That should narrow it down somewhat.

Archer4 11th Oct 2018 12:57

Maribor perhaps?

Davidsoffice 11th Oct 2018 14:16

Mostar Jasenica?

nvubu 11th Oct 2018 14:19

It isn't in Slovenia.

Reminders:
  • The buildings you can see in the last image are still present.
  • South is approx. at the top of the image.
  • When searching for "town name" and "airport" in GE, the current/modern airport is shown.
  • Even when searching for the full name of the airfield, this current airport is shown
If you zoom out from the modern airport, the one in the image will appear.


ADDED:
My reply crossed with Davidsoffice.
Bingo, Mostar Jasenica it is. Well done, you have control.

Davidsoffice 11th Oct 2018 14:38

So many clues with country and ICAO code, two airfields, geography with rising ground and two rivers.

Open house I'm afraid.
