Satellite imagery shows
the extent of the massive amount of work that has been done in the past year
to restore more than 20 million square feet of runways and other World War
II-era infrastructure at historic North Field on the U.S. island of Tinian in
the Western Pacific. The airfield was originally established as a launchpad
for B-29 bomber raids on Imperial Japan, including the ones that saw atomic
bombs dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The facility has been
refurbished to again offer a critical power projection node with its original
grid-like layout presenting targeting challenges for a modern opponent, all
of which could be especially valuable in a future high-end fight in the
region against China. Read more of our analysis here.
