RAF Gaza was a Second World War RAF airfield in the present day Gaza Strip,[1] possibly on the site of the Gaza Airstrip.
During the Second World War RAF Gaza was used by a number of RAF squadrons, including 33, 45, 127, 208, 318 and 451 Squadrons. No.2 Air Crew Officers School was based on the airfield, and the Greek Training Flight was also based there from 1941-1942. The airfield was used as the Middle East ammunition depot from July to September 1942. It was in use by 1941, and may have first been used earlier. Whether or not RAF Gaza was on the site of the present day Gaza Airstrip is unclear, as it was likely only of a temporary nature. Some sources place RAF Gaza to the southeast of Gaza City[2] although there are no visible remains of the airfield there.
