Bob Hobman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean_theater_of_World_War_II. exists,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:South_West_Pacific_theatre_of_World_War_II

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_War_II_airfields_in_the_South_West_Pacific_Theater

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airfields_of_the_United_States_Army_Air_Forces_in_the_South_West_Pacific_theatre_of_World_War_II

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airfields_in_the_Pacific_theatre_of_World_War_II:
