Dar el Koudia Airfield
Location of Bizerte Airfield, Tunisia
Dar el Koudia Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Tunisia, located in the vicinity of Bizerte. It was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force during the North African Campaign. The airfield was used by the 310th Bombardment Group, flying B-25 Mitchells from the field between 6 June and 5 August 1943.
Today, the location of the airfield is undetermined, as urban expansion in the Bizerte area has erased evidence of the field.
