Doug,

The runways were made of crushed corral and seashells because they drained quickly after the twice daily rains. At least two or three feet deep. Most stuff, after the war would get a start then die because the roots never sunk into permanent moisture.

Same thing on New Caledonia's abandoned B-17 field at Plaine Des Gaiacs.
