WWII Lunga Airfield – Guadalcanal v1.0

Built by the Americans, the single coral reef surfaced runway oriented roughly north-east to south-west completed during September 1942. By February 9, 1943 the runway was expanded to 4,000′ in length and 150′ wide. Although plagued with drainage problems, it allowed Allied aircraft to operate even when Henderson Field was disabled by bombardment or aerial bombing. Revetments and taxiways spread to the north and south of the runway, and a taxiway connected it to nearby Henderson Field. At its peak, this airfield had 110 hardstands for light planes and 36 revetments.
