Pine Creek Airfield was an emergency landing ground at Pine Creek, Northern Territory, Australia during World War II.
Civil airfield extended by B Company and HQ Detachment of the 808th Engineer Aviation Battalion between 11 May 1942 to 16 July 1942. The runway was 6000x wide.[1]
Due to housing development and road and railway construction, the runway length has now been decreased to about 700m (2,300feet), with a gravel surface.
