Barbers Point 10/29/45 Then and Now

At first glance it looked like tents, then I realized it was a Aircraft grave-yard.

Imagine just having that graveyard to pore through today!

I am really impressed with the fantastic photo posted from our WIX'er from down-under. However, I seriously question that it is Barbers Point.
The reason that I say this is that the entrance to Pearl Harbor (as well as aircraft cariers, NAS Ford Island, Hickam Field et.al) can be seen just beyond the rows of quonset huts. In reality, NAS Barbers Point is located about 7 miles due W of Pearl Harbor as well as MCAS Ewa was located in betwen the two. I do not see MCAS Ewa at all. I think what we are seing is either a eastern extreme of MCAS Ewa or possibly an aircraft storage area on NS Pearl Harbor.

What's your take??

Hi

I'm open to correction on the matter, but the photos came from the same source as this article
