Gusap Airdrome v1.1

During late 1943, Gusap Airfield was used by U. S. Army Air Force (USAAF) fighters, light bombers and liaison aircraft as a forward airfield during late 1943 until the middle of 1944. Built by U. S. Army engineers including the 871st Airborne Engineer battalion, Gusap Airfield complex included eight runways surfaced with grass plus 180 revetments in the area. Known to the U. S. Army as APO 713 unit 1 (bombers) and unit 2 (fighters).

Runway #5 is in the center of the complex(still used today). The other seven runways had been decomissioned for many years. You can now land at all eight runways.
