Caption incorrectly spells the name of the airfield pictured on Los Negros. Correct spelling: "Momote".

Hi, I'm very interested to know if you stil have ww2 pictures of islands of West Coast Manus (Admiralty Islands). In 1942, US Army built a radar station at mountain top of Harengan Island. If you have some pictures of that Island I would love to see them. Thank you.
