In the LOCATIONS section of PW, "Maikin" airfield is co-named "Butaritari/Antakana/Starmann." But Makin airfield is on Makin Island, to the North of the major atoll. Butaritari Island, on the Southern side of the major atoll, has a clear airstrip (see Google Earth), and Wiki is clear about the origin and naming of this strip as "Butaritari."
See:
Butaritari - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Butaritari
The runway of Butaritari Atoll Airport was originally built as the World War II American strip (Starmann Field)....
Can I suggest the Makin entry have the reference to "Butaritari/Starmann" removed, and a separate entry made for Butaritari field?

Re: Makin/Butaritari Location(s)
That’s a good catch! It sounds like there’s definitely some confusion with the naming. Separating the entries for Makin and Butaritari/Starmann would make the location data clearer and more historically accurate.
