History

Campo dingle'Oro before air power was an alluvial bush at the oral cavity of the Gravona]]. The average of "Field of Gold" stays becloud; some 19th-century writers bring up to a "rich cropland"; others, to a malaria-infested fenland. A grass field be there before World War II but seemingly offered no transportation system services, as the 1st regular voyages to Marseille get down with the establishment of a hydroplane service in 1935 from Ajaccio Harbor.

In 1940 a Vichy Air Corp unit was held inactive at Campo dingle'Oro. The release of Corsica start out with the districting by sea in 1943 of I Corps at Ajaccio in Operation Vésuve. A few calendar month after Fighter Group GC2/7 of the Free French Air Force, a French unit of the Royal Air Force, were operational on the grass field at Campo dingle'Oro with Spitfires. Heavy aircraft were unable to bring down and came to bad luck in the soft surface.

In 1944 the United States Army Air Forces took over the airport and set down a hard surface of perforated metal mats from which a squadron of P-51's winged. They supported B-24's winging from new fields build on the east seashore of Corsica. Campo dingle'Oro was a dispute for the bigger aircraft because of its comparatively short landing track and law of proximity to the mountains. Toward the finish of the conflict the landing track were paved, the foundation of the modern airport. The Americans also made a concerted attempt to annihilate malaria by infilling wetlands and crop-dusting pesticides in coastal districts.
