Sidi Azeiz Airfield
Introduction '''Sidi Azeiz Airfield''', or Sidi Azeis is an abandoned World War II military airfield in the eastern desert of Libya. It was located near the Egypt–Libya border near Jabbanat Sidi, about 100 km east of Tobruk. German Coordinates are given as It was used by the United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force during the Western Desert Campaign (named due to the stretch of the Sahara in Egypt being called the Western Desert) by the British Eighth Army, which the 57th Fighter Group, flew P-40 Warhawks  from on 12–13 November 1942.The airfield was likely a compacted desert dirt flight strip, and was abandoned as the Allied forces moved west towards Tobruk. Close examination aerial photography of the hard desert about 10 miles west of Burdi shows some evidence of disturbance which could indicate where it existed.
