A WW2 aerial reconnaissance photo of the German
airfield of Tortorella (Foggia Satellite #2), near Foggia, Puglia, Italy, taken
on the 25th August 1943 by 682 (Photo
Reconnaissance) Squadron, RAF. From the John Bradford
Archive of Aerial Photographs scanned by Mike Seager Thomas for the UCL
Institute of Archaeology Tavoliere-Gargano Prehistory Project.
The
photograph is orientated north. It shows the so-called "dispersal"
area of the airfield, to the northeast of the main runway mapped by the allies.
Most of the aircraft shown are JU88s but note also a small downed fighter close
to the middle of the picture. To the middle right is a faint crop mark of the
Neolithic Tavernola complex of Neolithic enclosures (villaggi trincerati).
Further
information on the Bradford Archive of Aerial Photographs can be found in "The
Bradford Archive", the introduction to my Neolithic
Spaces, Volume 2: The Bradford Archive of Aerial Photographs scheduled for
publication by the Accordia Research Institute in December 2020 (see also
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264975467), and on the Foggia airfield
complex in my "The WW2 Foggia Airfield Complex in the Bradford Archive of
Aerial Photographs", Artefact
Services Research Papers 10, available on the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/asrp-10-foggia-airfields-complex-2020).
Volume 2 of Neolithic Spaces is
essentially a catalogue of the Neolithic villaggi
trincerati visible in the Bradford Archive. Neolithic Spaces, Volume 1: Social and
Sensory Landscapes of the First Farmers of Italy, also due out in December 2020, explores these sites in more detail.
