Pignataro Maggiore Airfield
Location of Pignataro Maggiore Airfield, Italy
Pignataro Maggiore Airfield is a grass airfield just north of Pignataro Maggiore, in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region of Campania, located about 40 km north of Naples. It is currently used for light private aircraft.
During World War II, the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force 324th Fighter Group from 6 May until 6 June 1944 as a fighter base, flying P-40 Warhawks.
Currently the airfield is still in use, with a large hangar and several buildings visiable.
