Navarin Airfield

Navarin Airfield is a World [War II] military airfield in Algeria, located approximately 10 km from El Eulma in Sétif Province. It was used by the United [States Army Air Force] Twelfth Air Force during the North African Campaign for heavy B-17 Flying Fortress bombers against the German Afrika Korps. B-17s known as the 'Diamondbacks' would fly from here to Rome in Operation Husky in July 1943. Known units assigned were:

2d Bombardment Group, 22–27 April 1943, B-17 Flying Fortress
99th Bombardment Group, 22 February-25 March 1943, B-17 Flying Fortress

When the Americans moved east into Tunisia, the airfield was dismantled and abandoned. Traces of its runway may be visible on satellite imagery, however a lack of detailed aerial photography of the area limits determining a precise location and current condition of the airfield.
