14 degrees 29 minutes latitude, 120 degrees, 34 minutes longitude. Located approximately 4 km south of Bataan Airfield on the east coast of the Bataan Peninsula, a quarter of a mile north of Cabcaben.

Construction
Constructed by the US Army, the airfield included revetments, landing lights, a control tower, and anti-aircraft defenses.

On December 22, 1941 the 27th Bombardment Group temporarily transferred its personnel from Lipa Airfield (Fernando AFB) before departing on December 25 to Cabcaben Airfield.

When the airfield was completed on February 6, 1942, General Harold George moved half his operational fighters to Cabcaben after dark that same night.

The airfield was occupied by the Japanese after the fall of the Bataan peninsula.
