Location of Gaudo Airfield, Sicily
Galera Airfield is an abandoned military airfield in the Umbria region of central Italy, 5.3 km South-Southwest of Umbertide.
Its last known use was by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force in 1943 during the Italian Campaign. Today the site of the airfield is indistinguishable from the many agricultural fields in the area.
