Important place of ww2

[JVM]

Beware! there was not really any control tower at Desvres airfield: the area you mention contains the park, farm and "chateau du Desert" which had been commandeered by the Luftwaffe for the pilots and troops of course. The hangar you see is a modern 1990 ULM hangar not much used nowadays.
No hangar exists in Desvres anymore, only their bases as in the photo, aligned along the south peripheral taxiway and the around the small wood on the West.
There were also some hangar bases (probably only blast walls actually) around the chateau area to the east, but they have been destroyed last year.

Gibraltar is okay...

gimme spanish heinkels, portuguese glosters and P-39s...
SM-79 and CANT Bombers from sardigna...

But i remember no "big" aerial battles around the Monkey's Rock.
Planes passing, protection of shipping lanes... recce flights...

for shipping, its an important place. in SHIII that spot is a bi*ch to pass, but rich Uboat hunting ground.

interesting spot really. could be used as a starting point for Malta convoys.

i see why pearl harbos has been done. for one massive big arse attack that went dow in history and had a big effect.

but create a map for gibraltar, send a handsful of Piaggios over and you call that "important"?

interesting. at best.
consider the work!!!
