ww2dbaseSoton Airfield was constructed by the Japanese Army in Soton, Taichu (now Caotun, Nantou), Taiwan in mid-1944. It had a 4,200-foot long primary runway and a 4,500-foot wide secondary runway that was considerably narrower. They both had concrete surfaces. They connected by a concrete taxi way. After the war, the secondary runway was removed and the land was returned to civilian use. The primary runway remained in place, but fell into disuse. In the 1960s, the former primary runway housed emergency housing for those displaced during the great flood of 7 Aug 1959. After the displaced civilians returned home, the primary runway was removed.
