Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Construction of the new bomber landing strip at Bougainville. The view shows men laying mats. Five Vought F4U-1 Corsairs of Marine Fighting Squadron 216 (VMF-216) are visible in the background. Note: As nearby Piva North Airfield (Piva Yoke) opened and became the primary bomber strip and Piva South Airfield (Piva Uncle) opened as another fighter strip on 30 December 1943 the photo was probably taken at the Cape Torokina airfield, where the first F4Us of VMF-216 arrived on 10 December 1943.
