Puerto Princesa Airfield, Palawan Island, Philippines

From Pacific Wrecks site.

Built by the Japanese using POW labor.  The runway was made of crushed coral.  During the war it was used by both the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF).

During late  1944 until  February 28, 1945, it was heavily bombed by American aircraft.

On February 28, 1945,  the U.S. Army  41st Infantry Division "Jungleers" Regimental Combat Team (RCT) made  an amphibious landing at Puerto Princesa and captured it.  Afterwards, it was turned into an American air base and used until the end of the war.
