Airport Bunkers
Taking the Japanese
airport was one of the first objectives for the Americans in
the Battle of Saipan. There are still
several |
|
buildings remaining including the airport
bunkers. These bunkers saw a lot of action. There is a large
hole in the side of each bunker from direct hits by the American
tanks. The original airplane taxiway, right next to the bunkers,
is now a football field.
