There’s history galore
From the moment you land at Honiara International Airport (formerly known as Henderson Field, but more commonly referred to as “Fighter One”), you’ve entered the pages of a history book. It was on this very strip, back in 1942, that the Americans landed after the attack on Pearl Harbor to protect the Pacific. Nearby, “Fighter Two” was another landing strip for the Americans, and is now a golf course. There’s World War II history dotted everywhere around these islands, both on land and under water.
