History
Japanese occupied for the duration of
WWII. On January 13, 1945, three P-40s from 80 sqn ditched near
Talaud Island when they flew past Morotai (where they were supposed
to ferry the aircraft to). They ditched due to a lack of fuel,
were captured and exectuted about 10 days later. This was apparently
a war crime that several Japanese were tried and executed for.
