World War II Historical Sites In Yap

Strategically located between the Philippines and Guam, Japanese-occupied Yap was targeted almost daily by American aircraft from June of 1944 to August of 1945. This has resulted in several historical sites and wreckages on land and in the water that offer visitors a profound glimpse into the island's wartime past. Numerous historical marker signs dot the island where you can see plane wreckages, gun batteries, bunkers, tunnels and memorials to fallen soldiers. Today you can visit a number of American memorial sites and Japanese wreckage sites, which all have historical markers and interpretative signage.
