Ng War Airstrips In Use
ACCORDING to the Australian Mini ster for Air (Mr, White), wartime airfields in Northern Australia and New Guinea could be put into operation quickly for use by the RAAF.
All wartime airstrips in Australia’s “strategic corner” are now being sur veyed. Strips in Queensland and Nor thern Territory could soon be brought into full use; Manus Island airstrip was in excellent condition; Port Moresby, Dobodura No. 1 and Nadzab (near Lae,
NG) were serviceable and other strips in the Territory could be brought up to wartime standard quickly.
The RAAF, said Mr. White, is under taking a major build-up in case of war.
