..might be interested in this tidbit, if they haven't already found it. I have been reading a book titled "Twelve Desperate Miles" by a Tim Bradley about Operation Torch. This particular book is about the siezing of the airfield at Port Lyautey on the river Sebon in Morocco. In the book are some pictures of Casabalanca in 1940's and the river. Also has some descriptions of the surrounding area and beaches and a clear overhead picture of the airport itself showing the runways and revertments. Also, there is a picture of the P-40s showing their carrier take-off and colors.

Just thought some might be interested because IIRC someone was doing (did) a "Operation Torch" and if Achim( or anyone else) has to do the airport there is a reference for him(them).
