Ok, in principle I know that there were many airfileds near Moresby, but it is still hard to find the exact location. And what does the distance in miles mean? Distance from where?

Syscom, I ve sent you a PM.

Max the distance was the location of the strip from Port Moresby. Airfields I have in the Moresby area are - Kila (three mile), Jackson (seven mile), Ward's, Berry (Bomana), Schwimmer (Laloki), and Durand (Waigani). All are roughly NE of Moresby except Kila which is 3 miles SE of Moresby. Also in the Milne Bay area there was Gurney and Turnbull strips.

Micdrow, thanks for the attachments, they are very interesting mate!
