Salamaua
I've read everything & anything relating to Salamaua, (my father-in-law was with 2/3rd Commando who deplaned under fire at Wau,then went over the Black Cat track to Salamaua). The strip was bombed heavily from 1943 onwards, and re-opened in 1945 for service aircraft - but there is no record of its' civil use after then. I first overflew it in 1962, then again several times between 1967 and 1970. It looked to be abandoned and very wet.
happy days,
