Historical Background
During WWII, improvised airstrips on tropical islands were critical for the USMC’s air operations. These makeshift bases enabled fighter aircraft like the Corsair to support infantry, protect naval fleets, and strike deep into enemy territory. This diorama captures a dynamic moment at one of these Pacific airfields — a USMC Corsair undergoing refueling, engine checks, and last-minute maintenance before takeoff.
