Nanur Airport is an airport in the Wadi Maymun Darraj region of Libya, located approximately 200 km south-southeast of Tripoli in the Libyan desert. Although listed as a civil airport, it appears to function as a reserve Libyan Air Force airfield. It consists of a very large runway, capable of strategic bomber use, with a taxiway and a parking ramp. There are no permanent structures visible,〔(Google Maps - Nanur )〕 nor are there any production oilfields in the area. ==World War II== During World War II the airfield, then known as Darragh Airfield was used as a military airfield by the United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force 57th Fighter Group during the North African Campaign against Axis forces. The 57th flew P-40 Warhawks from the airfield between 19 January-3 March 1943 before moving forward with the British Eighth Army. 〔 * Maurer, Maurer. ''Air Force Combat Units of World War II''.
