K. Newman 1964 Kwajalein Atoll Oct 30. Binion made various contacts in the morning and got reservations on the 12:30 flight to Roi-Namur. Phil and I accompanied him. On the trip up I had my first aerial views of a real atoll. It is really quite a sight. The ocean this day was its deep, rich blue and the lagoon had the same appearance. Between the two lay the strip of light green water dotted with darker green islets. The coral configurations stood out as a series of darker fingers and cross- bars in the light green. There were several circular patches of coral a little distance from some of the islets, enough to be surrounded by blue water, and the tidal action conferred on these a pulsating appearance, very subtle. Roi-Namur is actually two islands joined by a causeway where the Japanese had a railway during the war. The cause- way served as the burial ground for 4000 Japanese killed on the islands in the Allied attack in 1944. Apparently there was a major headquarters on Roi-Namur, evidenced by many windowless bunkers with concrete walls
