Semi-permanent heavy bomber airfield, part of the Foggia Airfield Complex built around the southern Italian city. San Giovanni Airfield was base for the 454th and 455th Bombardment Groups, six squadrons of B-24 Liberators, from January 1944 to September 1945. Two parallel pierced-steel plank (PSP) runways, approx 6,000 ft long, and extensive taxiway and hardstand parking areas. As of 2013, some of the hardstands are still faintly visible.
