宜蘭飛行場（Giran Airdrome）

如果以現在的宜蘭市來看，日治時代的宜蘭飛行場就佔了大約四分之一的面積。連接南北兩座飛行場的疏散道（滑行道）旁，興建了許多雙拼式的飛機掩體（如下圖的1與2），鋪過的疏散道就分岔到這些掩體裡，成為宜蘭飛行場的一大特色。不過仍有少數掩體是單一獨立的，例如下圖中的3。
Giran’s (currently Ilan) two airdromes were connected via several taxiways, along which there were many side-by-side revetments (such as 1 and 2 in the image below). Paved taxiways led right into these revetments. There were still a few isolated revetments (for example, 3 in the image below).

下圖中的雙拼式掩體裡停了兩架飛機，右上角箭頭所指的，是現在蘭陽女中的校園（當時叫做台北州立蘭陽高等女學校）。

在南機場的V字型開口附近，有好幾座機堡，下圖中就可以看見其中六座。這些機堡大部分被保留了下來。
Near the opening of the V-shaped airstrip, there were several concrete aircraft shelters, most of which have been preserved.

在下圖中，南機場V字型右邊那一畫的跑道上，停著六架飛機。

北機場跑道的北面也有好幾座機堡，而且都蓋在樹林間，隱蔽性比南機場的機堡佳。可惜這些機堡都不在了，我猜是在興建金六結營區時拆除的。
There used to be several concrete aircraft shelters on the North Airdrome too. These shelters were hid in the woods, unlike those found on the South Airdrome, which were in the open. Unfortunately, none of the shelters on the North Airdrome remain today. I guess they were torn down when Jin Liou Jie Army camp was built.

下面這張1969年的CORONA衛星照片中，南機場V字型左邊那一畫的跑道輪廓仍然非常清晰，右邊那一畫的跑道就看不見了。好幾條疏散道消失不見，被保留下來的也變窄了。金六結營區已經出現，北機場的外型幾乎看不出來。
In the following 1969 CORONA satellite image, the left-hand side of the V-shaped airstrip of the South Airdrome was visible while the right-hand side had vanished. Several taxiways were also gone. Those which remained became narrower. Jin Liou Jie Army camp can be seen on the location of the former North Airdrome.

如果您要下載kmz檔案在Google Earth上觀看，建議以「歷史圖像」的功能調整為2005年3月的衛星照片，因為Google Earth在宜蘭的預設圖片是用兩張不同時間拍攝的衛星照片拼接的，而且沒有拼得很好，痕跡非常明顯。
If you wish to download the kmz file to view it on Google Earth, I’d suggest you use the “Historical Imagery” function to switch to the 2005/03/15 image. The default image of Ilan was made of two images taken two years apart. The image stitching caused some alignment problems.
