I think it might have been possible to crash land on a barren Pacific island and set up a runway and fuel depo. I do not how successful or how many existed. My step dad had a picture of himself on a shallow islet in the pacfic and everytime the runway was bombed he would use that dozer to fill in the holes with coral reff material. Two men, one dozer with camoflag net, on a small island. He was there for years. Too shallow to approach close with a ship to drop off a dozer. He always liked the crystal water and sand sharks. Cooking sand shark over deisel fuel you have to be pretty hungry. The few drums of diesel and hi-test gas were burried.

Amazing what these guys did in the war. So why was there a runway there? If ships couldn't approach, how did we get fuel on the island, and without fuel why would an airplane land there?
