A look back: Guam Air Depot

At the Guam Air Depot, supplies are being unloaded from four ships in the harbor, dumped on the beaches by Navy barges and reloaded into trucks by hand. Having no prepared covered storage at the field, all this material was lined up on the side of one of the roads at the Depot and dubbed the now famous “mile of supply.” Within one week, the first supplies were flown to Service Center “A” at Saipan in a Douglas C-47 Skytrain.
