A litter patient is loaded aboard a Douglas C-47 at Agrigento, Sicily, for evacuation to Africa for medical treatment, July 25, 1943 (USAAF photo).
Notice the tall grass and lack of even the most basic infrastructure in these photos, taken only 10 days after the area was captured. They make it very hard to believe the Regia Aeronautica and Luftwaffe were runnng an airfield here.
