71.219.111.213 (talk) 07:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC) The Wikipedia marker for Ponte Olivo Airfield is in the wrong location.
The correct location is: 37° 7'51.68"N 14°19'17.27"E
Contemporary accounts place it near Ponte Olivo bridge in the bend of the roadway where highway 117 turns toward Niscemi. American, Italian and German Maps from Operation Husky show it at this location.
Done. See "Sicily and the Surrender of Italy" at http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-MTO-Sicily/, especially Map V, "Counterattack at Gela, 11 July 1943", at http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-MTO-Sicily/maps/USA-MTO-Sicily-V.jpg. BrainMarble (talk) 03:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
