Ok, I´m going to try to do something with it. Thank you.

Gumrak airfield is still on place (partially) --just switch buttons in right upper corner from war aerials to present time satelite map.

And Pitomnik Eastern close to Stalingrad  but Voroponovo is on South end of aerials partially





Voroponovo

Hi Greif11!
I think your latest pic is Beketovka airfield.
Third is Voroponovo.
You can see it in reference source map in reply#72:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/eastern_europe/txu-oclc-6519747-nm38-11.jpg
and in
http://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/235-aerodromy-bitvy-za-stalingrad/
Pitomnik is locate in default map close to Voroponovo´s real position but it was northwest from it, and today there are no remains of runway

[Greif11]

But Beketovka airfield --present day is on far distance from war time location. On close view here http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=48.546004&lon=44.378881&z=19&m=b still visible war time scars on ground and remains trases of airstripe and craters on SW from present Beketovka AF

I found Beketovka West airfield full aerial http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com/aerialphotosstalingrad/Beketovka/slides/Beketovka-West%20300842-1.html

And here on big size aerial http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com/stalingradaerialscans/GX1885SGSK/slides/GX1885-482.html

And suddenly found photos of Ernst Kupfer fm Immelmann SG -Stalingrad

If you turn 90 right the  aerial photo (http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com/aerialphotosstalingrad/Beketovka/slides/Beketovka-West%20300842-1.html you can see that it is the third you posted before. It is the same place (Voroponovo)

Beketovka airfield --present day is west from war time location. You can see it switching from war aerials to present time satelite map in http://warfly.ru/?lat=48.772483&lon=44.577370&z=12 as you posted.

Yes, as you can see in your latest link, Beketovka is the same place as you posted before as Voroponovo

[Greif11]

Exact location of Pitomnik AF

[Greif11]

Yes, as you can see in your latest link, Beketovka is the same place as you posted before as Voroponovo

But Luftwaffe aerial has mark "Beketovka" on it. Work with old dokuments is wery hard. Too much versions. But sometime we must look on some exact evidence. Marks on aerials,stamps,coordinates,target dosiers marks.

Wonderful, I think that last photo is Beketovka. We have default airtfield in this area, so I´m going to edit it to this shape. Thank you.
