I spent over a month at Tsili Tsili and never knew that runway 05/23 existed. 14/32 was still in use into the late 70's and maybe later.

Gen. Kenny, head of 5th AF in WW2, stated in his book that he didn't want the airfield to be named 'Tsili Tsili' (nearest villiage) but wanted the airfield to be named 'Marilinan' which was a "nicer" name of a villiage somewhat further away from the airfield. (It was built in "secret" and the Japs didn't discover it until it was finished, but was much closer to Wewak to allow fighter protection for his bombers.) He stated "In case the Nips should take us out at that airfield, somebody might throw that Tsili Tsili thing back at me."

Tsili Tsili is close to Lae which was still in Japanese hands at that time but still a long way from Wewak. Compared to Port Moresby though still much closer to Wewek.
