Notes
  • Significance: The December 7, 1941 Japanese surprise attack on military bases in Hawaii devastated almost all aircraft parked on the airstrips in Hawaii. As a reaction to the proven vulnerability of exposed aircraft, these revetments were erected in 1942 to provide protection "for carrier based planes," according to the drawings dated April 25, 1942. This grouping is by far the largest grouping of revetment of any kind still extant in the Pacific area. In addition, they are significant because these revetments are the only known examples of this type of revetment in the Pacific and are a distinctive construction type.
