I need to know wether any of the airfields in that area had concrete runways or parking lots in 1941 and or 1944. The places where that could possibly be the case are - Odessa - Beltsy - Chisianau - Tiraspol - Iasy - Roman - Focsani Who knows wether any of theses airfields had concrete or asphalt ? PS: Here is one pic of the area. It shows all Airfields on the lower 80% map:

Tiraspol might have been concrete - I need to read some books again (not sure but maybe in Dan Stoian's book it mentions something about it). Chisinau I only have pic of it many years before WW2 and it was not concrete but I have no ideea during WW2. Balti I don't know.

Do any pictures / " proof" exist? In 1941, I think all was witjout concrete, so it is OK to leave this out anyway...
