Location
Located in the Markam Valley at Nadzab, outside of Lae. This strip was furthest north of all the Nadzab area airstrips, it is located to the north of Nadzab No. 5 Strip.

Construction
Built by the US Army. The runway ran approximately east to west.  Taxiways connected it to No. 5 and the main Nadzab runways, and extensive revetments were located around the runway.

Wartime Usage
Used primarily as a fighter strip.

Today
Disused since the war, the runway, taxiways and hardstands are still visible from the air.

Richard Leahy adds:
"The lines in the ground visible from the air are not slit trenches, but scoops for gravel removed to build the runway.  All that ground there is gravel."
