Koli Airfield

Koli Airfield (also known as Bomber 3 Field) is a former World War II airfield on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, located near Koli Point, eight miles east of Henderson Field, close to the Metapona River to the east and the Naumbu River to the west.

This airfield was built for B-24 Liberator heavy bomber operations, primarily by the Thirteenth Air Force.

The single strip ran approximately NE to SW (parallel to Carney Airfield) and had several taxiways off both sides.

Surfaced by bitumen with metal, Marsden Matting-like material for heavy aircraft and was completed in the middle of 1943.
