Oasis of Misturata (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  "Misturata" is likely a misspelling of "Misurata". (Misurata see Misratah , Libya.) Misratah or Misurata , city, NW Libya, located in an oasis. A seaport on the Mediterranean Sea. Misratah was "In the News" during the 1910's, with the outbreak of The Tripolitanian (Tripolitan) War (also known as the Italo-Turkish or Turco-Italian War, and in Italy as guerra di Libia, "the Libyan war", and in Turkey as Trablusgarp Savaşı) on September 29, 1911. An Italian landing at Misratah in October, 1911, made little initial headway. The first ever aerial bomb was dropped on Turkish troops during this war, and may have been dropped on the oasis of Misratah. -- Excerpted from Early Twentieth Century Timelines and Wikipedia.
