The raid was to be done in stages. The first leg connecting the old caravan trade center of Sahba, where the Italians had an airfield, and Campo Uno, a barren, flat stretch of desert south of Sabha that had been discovered by Maggiore Vimercati-Sanseverino in 1935.

On this photo, the Italian airfield can be seen in the shadow of iconic fort Elena.

A model of the new dive bomber of the Regia Aeronautica Breda 201 shown to the Communication Minister Host Venturi.
The Breda 201 was designed around the engine Alfa Romeo RA 1000 RC.41 (Italian version of DB 601).
Due to the usual lack of industrial output, the production of Alfa Romeo RA 1000 engines could be not increased, and all the existing production was reserved to fighters; this caused the end of the dive bomber Breda 201. DVX
