Yeah I saw those, that airstrip is where my Dad was fighting in the center of the Island, he didn't hit the beach till the 3rd day cause he was in the 3rd division and they were held in reserve, but the 4th got so tore up that they were called in, at least his outfit the 28th marines were.
He never talked too much about it till he had a few beers but when he did you payed attention.
