Guiuan Airfield

Guiuan Airfield is a World War II airfield located near Guiuan in the province of Eastern Samar, Samar, Philippines. It was closed after the war.

History
The airfield was built by the United States Navy Seebees, 42nd Battalion in January 1945. A single runway made of crushed coral was constructed running ENE to WSW. The runway was 1.5 miles long. Minor repair facilities were available at the airfield. It was used for the duration of the war by Army Air force and Navy aircraft. MAG fighters, B-24s of the 22d Bombardment Group  (January 20 – March 12, 1945), and a few PB4Ys were stationed at the airfield.

Today, the runway of the wartime airfield is known as Guiuan Airport, but it is infrequently used.
