The location of the airport, as stated by various Internet sources, is, in my opinion, nonsense - 37°18'50.48"N 13°34'01.66"E (eg http: //en.wikipedia .org/wiki/Agrigento_Airfield) - according to satellite images and photos directly from the locality it is not an airport, but the ruins of temples or sports grounds? built on the slope of the valley. It's definitely not an air base.





I did not find other relevant information from Italian sources about the air base in the town of Agrigento (as wikipedia writes - that it is a former air base of the Royal Air Force). The only Italian air base is in the province of Agrigento near the city of Sciacca.


But in 2011 a book by Othniel Hermes - Agrigento Airfield (ISBN 9786138358237) - www.barnesandnoble.com was published, there may be more accurate location information.
