Hi All, Whilst googling about today, I found a .pdf on SW Pacific air strips at a Bomber Groups web-page. The drawings are not CAD quality but can show some pretty good information. Just thought to put it out here...the file is about 20 MB, so the D/L will take several minutes. Maybe someone could find usefull data from it. Thanks to those who have been re populating the Pacific with some excellant work. :applause:

The pdf, http://www.307bg.org/pdf/airbases_SWpacific.pdf

Aw come on Dog1....now they know that this was an FBI Sting Operation...Ok, read them their rights.....:d :icon_lol:
 
To dog

Choose Scenery Properties from the Edit tap in FSSC, then Dimensions and then change the rotation of the scenery. This may work.
 
Thanks DV, I also enjoyed the website itself as it is a very interesting read. There is also a pdf d/load concerning the history of one B-25 with 100 missions, what a ride that must have been. The GREATEST Generation indeed!
 
Wow... that's a lot of interesting web content for a site hosted in the name of a single, deactivated military unit. Great layout too. That group has some rockin' historians and webmasters.
 
Just one thing to remember when looking at these or planning to use them to create scenery from.... They are drawn the way the fields were after the Allied Engineers had "re-developed" them, that only applies to those that were originally used/built by the Japanese of course.

In the PNG/NB area many of the Japanese fields were originally built by the Aussies and Missionaries. When the Japanese invaded they were further developed and then when recapture by the Allies they often times bulldozed the whole thing and built over both. So in many cases you have three very distinct levels of development of an airfield in that AO.
