Martuba Air Base
Location of Martuba Air Base, Libya
Martuba Air Base is a Libyan Air Force (Arabic: القوات الجوية الليبية, Berber: Adwas Alibyan Ujnna) base in the Derna District of Libya, located approximately 27 kilometres (17 mi) south-southeast of Derna, 268 kilometres (167 mi) east-northeast of Benghazi. Its primary use is by the Libyan Air Force. The hangars contain Mi-2 and Mi-8 helicopters. A G.222 is stored on the ramp. It appears to be a reserve facility, as it primarily consists of a runway and a parking ramp. No support structures are visible.
World War II
During World War II the airfield, then known as Martuba Airfield was used as a military airfield by the United States Army Air Force 57th Fighter Group during the North African Campaign against Axis forces. The 57th flew P-40 Warhawks from the airfield 16 November-3 December 1942.
