Durand Airfield

Durand Airfield consisted of a single main runway, running roughly NW-SE, being constructed by the 808th Airborne Engineers, and completed in August 1942.

The runway was separate from the dispersal and camp areas, where revetments were carved into hillsides and taxiways elevated for drainage.

There are no settlements on the airfield, only occasionally do people pass through the area searching for firewood or hunting.

The runway, revetments and taxiway system are still present, but only clearly visible in the dry season when the grass has been burned away.
