April 29, 1944

Location
Located at the southern corner of Moen Island (Weno), adjacent to the Moen Seaplane Base.

Construction
After the February 17-18, 1944 Operation Hailstone strike, this fighter airstrip was built 225' from the seaplane base with its runway parallel it. Two coral surfaced runways were built on fill, and eventually extended to connect with the Moen Seaplane Base. The runways were each 190 ' x 3,250' when completed. The adjacent Mt. Teroken were tunneled with caves for storage.

Today
Disused since the war.
