History
Although this
is Green Island, the wartime strip, referred to as "Green Island" was
located on nearby Nissian Island.
John Douglas adds:
"The story about the Nissan Island water landings is
to me a bit less certain, as well as the story about the survivors
injuries. He
also said that half the planes landed at Nissan Island, not Nuguria. They
also
put down in
deep water, and despite a good searh could only find the
remains of a Corsair there,This location was confirmed by the Nissan locals.He
said that this variation was confirmed by an American researher that they
used, as well."
