Overview
North Field is a former World War II airfield on Tinian in the Mariana Islands. Abandoned after the war, today North Field is a tourist attraction.
North Field is probably the most historically significant airfield used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was a Twentieth Air Force base for B-29 Superfortress operations against the Japanese Home Islands in 1944 and 1945, however the airfield was also the base for the 509th Composite Group which flew the two Atomic Bomb missions against Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which led to the unconditional surrender of Imperial Japan on September 2, 1945, and the end of the Pacific War.
