January 23, the ground echelon traveled by open truck in wet, freezing weather to the new base (code-named "Newbox") on the
Tavoliere near the
Adriatic Sea, eighteen miles southeast of
Foggia. The airbase was constructed on
an estate called
Incarnata Farm (
41°16′N, 15°44′E), less than a mile north of the village of
Stornarella and approximately two miles southwest of the larger town of
Stornara; it received the name of the larger city as its location. Stornara airbase was centered in a cluster of airfields of its parent and newly-activated 304th Bomb Wing and two other heavy bomber wings of the
Fifteenth Air Force surrounding the city of Cerignola.
Staff officers immediately began requisitioning farmhouses for administrative buildings and setting up tent encampments in nearby
olive groves for the living quarters. With some improvised improvements, the 456th lived in tents throughout its fifteen months at Stornara (for several months, the ground crews lived in infantry
shelter halves until a sufficient number of
squad-sized tents became available). Stonara's single
runway was 4,800 feet in length and oriented north-to-south, with
taxiways on either side and
revetments for 62 aircraft placed along them. The runways and taxiways were covered with steel matting called
pierced steel planking, or PSP.
On
January 26 the 456th group headquarters reached Stornara and activated the base. The group's bombers began arriving from Tunisia on February 1. On a training familiarization flight on
February 6 another B-24 was lost, crashing into a mountain while flying in clouds, killing all aboard including three aircraft commanders
