Location of Pontedera Airfield, Italy
Pontedera Airfield is an abandoned military airfield in Italy, located within the town of Pontedera, in Tuscany in the administrative province of Pisa.
Its last known use was by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force 27th Fighter Group in late 1944 and early 1945 during the Italian Campaign, flying A-36 Apaches.
Today, the location of the airfield has been absorbed into the town. There is the remains of one runway visible in an industrial area.
