Menzel Temime Airfield
Menzel Temime Airfield is an abandoned military airfield in Tunisia, which was located near the city of Menzel Temine, 25 km north-northeast of Korba and 31 km east of Tāklisah. The airfield was built as a temporary wartime field by Army Engineers, using Pierced Steel Planking for runways and parking and dispersal areas, and support structures quickly constructed out of wood or tents.
During World War II it was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force during the North African Campaign. B-25 Mitchells flown from the airfield later took part in the Sicilian and Italian Campaigns, flying combat missions until enemy targets became out of range. Known units which used the airfield were:
- 310th Bombardment Group, 5 August-10 November 1943, B-25 Mitchell
- 33d Fighter Group, 20 May-9 June 1943, P-40 Warhawk
