| In Borneo two AIF divisions staged through the American-held island of Morotai to launch three amphibious landings in Borneo. |
| In turn, they provided transport, approved landings at airstrips for resupply purposes, and selected men for our teams. |
| Among them was 81-year-old Calpin, who served as an able seaman with the Royal Navy during the Normandy landings. |
| The men created a world of their own on the docks, levees, plantation landings, city quays, and steamboat decks of the Mississippi River economy. |
| This was to be a show, but also a cadet competition in short field landings, simulated forced landings, instrument flying and aerobatics. |
| Accidents in 1992 and 1994 both saw small planes make forced landings near the airstrip. |
