Wishbone-shaped Atoll comprising three coral islands (Peale, Wake and Wilkes) Surrounded by a coral-reef Enclosed central lagoon Surface is disintegrated coral with boulders, trees, shrubs Area = 2.5 Sq. Miles 12 Mile Coastline Large 9,800 Foot Runway Max Elevation: 12 feet 19 deg N of Equator Tropical climate. Avg °F United States Air Force Highly restricted access Wake Atoll – Quick Facts

Wake Atoll During World War II First settled in 1935 – Pan Am Airways built “PAAville” + 48-room hotel to service Trans-Pacific China Clipper flights between San Francisco and Hong Kong January 1941: US Navy begins construction of military base August 19, 1941: 1 st Garrison = 449 Marines, 68 Navy, 1221 Civilians December 7, 1941: Japanese attack Pearl Harbor December 8, 1941: Simultaneously, Japan attacks Wake Atoll During the fierce battle, the small Garrison held their position sinking two Japanese destroyers, a submarine, severely damaging several other ships. >1000 Japanese forces were killed. December 23, 1941: Japanese overwhelm Wake and take control. All US military and civilians sent via ship to POW camps in Asia, except for 98 Civilian Contractors – The Forgotten 98

Wake Atoll During World War II For two years as POWS, the “Forgotten 98” civilians constructed barricades, bunkers, tunnels, ditches, runways, etc. October 5, 1943: USS Yorktown Leads fierce air raid October 7, 1943: Fearing imminent invasion, the remaining 98 contractors executed. A tragedy since the US had no intention of a forced landing on Wake Next 2 Years: Isolated from supplies remaining JA soldiers suffered badly Wake served as refueling stop, emergency landings and staging ground: Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm Wake is one of the most well-preserved military battlefields in the world Wreckage of several sunken Japanese warships sit off the coast Numerous bunkers and battle remnants remain Wake Atoll is truly an island “frozen in time”
