Read More1 / 8
Prior to WWII the airport which is now referred to as Isley Field and Saipan International Airport was As Lito Field. The Japanese, as a condition for being granted Saipan by the League of Nations, had promised to never construct any developments which could be used for war. So, when they started construction of As Lito Field, they told the rest of the world that they were putting in a baseball diamond for the locals to use for sports. I guess they could have stored a lot of baseballs in here!
