Del Monte FieldDel Monte Field was constructed by December of 1941 and was part of USAFFE's plans to fortify the Philippines. The decision to build this heavy bomber-capable airbase, on Mindanao, was based on the belief that bombers at Clark Field, on Luzon, would be too easily attacked by an invading force. Construction of an additional bomber base, in the Visayas, was intended.
