Gallery: Johnston Island
Johnston Island in 1945, a coral atoll 800 miles from Hawaii that Navy engineers dredged and enlarged into a mid-Pacific air and sea way station. Aerial views trace the runway, Quonset huts, fuel tanks, and lagoon pier, while personnel stand in formation as a four-engine transport passes low overhead.
