BIFERNO AIRFIELD - CAMPOMARINO
BIFERNO AIRFIELD Biferno, Italy. 10 February 1945. No. 249 (Mustang) Squadron RAF which has had two RAAF commanding officers in succession, is keeping up the high reputation it built for itself during the Battle of Britain and blitz days of Malta, and is now part of the Balkans Air Force. It has been operating in Italy for several months in support of Tito's Partisans in Yugoslavia. The commanding officer, 402326 Squadron Leader Charles E. Edmondson of Wodonga, Vic (right), is chatting with his fitter Sergeant N. Clamp of Southport, England, prior to leading a strafing mission over Yugoslavia. The Squadron operates from an airfield covered in steel matting laid on a beach on the Adriatic coast.
