Hachijo-Jima Base and Base Force

Post by el cid again »

Location 266
Hex location 113,63
is Hachijo Jima

It appears to start undeveloped and without garrison.
In fact, it is an inhabited island with about four
towns, and several thousand inhabitants - and at least
one port of moderate capacity. The IJN considered it
vital to the defense of the approaches to Yokosuka
and Tokyo - being located just South of there -
and built an airfield in 1926. The airfield has been
in continuous use ever since and ultimately exceeded 6500
feet in runway length. It probably should have a Special
Base Force in the 1941 order of battle.
