===Tailside=== The Tailside or Tail End is the remaining portion of the island where different memorials, shrines and the island's airstrip are located. Kindley Field was constructed in the early 1920s and named in honor of an early hero of the [[United States Army Air Corps|U.S. Army Air Corps]]. The airfield was operated then by the army, and the navy had a [[seaplane]] base. The short runway, cramped and hilly terrain had limited its use.<ref name="Bottomside" /><ref>Hubbard, Charles M. and Davis Jr., Collis H.. "Corregidor in Peace and War", p.82.
