Description
Discover a piece of wartime history at Amuri Airfield, Aitutaki’s original World War II airstrip. Built by the US Army in 1942 as part of a vital air link between Hawaii and Australia, the airfield played a role in the Pacific Theatre despite Aitutaki remaining far from the conflict. While one of the original runways remains in use today, the disused airstrip stands as a quiet reminder of the island’s wartime past.
