the photo shows the area where
there was a checkpoint 24/24, as
was tell to me. The area after 65
years has totally changed. Just
where was the checkpoint begins a
highway that leads to Monte
Gargano.
the photo shows the
building of the Aeronautica
Militare Italiana, in Bari,
where, probably, was the
Headquarter of the 15th Air
Force (1943 - 1945).
currently part of the old
Lesina Airfield (the final)
has crossed the highway
A/14 from Bologna (North
Italy) leads in Taranto
(South Italy).
the two pictures you will see are related to the area of the Lesina Airfield as they today.

the photos that you see were taken by me in August of 2009 and refer to the area where there was the runway. The area was and is called at Lesina "Pontone".

the picture you can see
refers to the area of the
military zone of Lesina in
1943 - 1945.
These pictures are from Salvatore Primiano CAVALLO, our friend in Lesina, Italy.
the picture you can see,
was taken Sept. 19, 1954
and shows the place where
the Lesina airfield was
located.
the picture you can see,
shows an old warehouse for
storage of wine, where
American soldiers were
housed in cinema where
many films were screened.
The warehouse is located in
Ripalta, a small fraction of
Lesina.
