Located on Guadalcanal near Koli Point on, fifteen miles from Henderson Field, closest to the Metapona River to the east and the Naumbu River to the west. To the south-east was a Crash Strip and further to to the south-east is Koli Field (Bomber 3). The single strip ran approximately NE to SW (parallel to Koli Field).

Construction
Built by US Naval Construction Battalion 14 (SeaBees) led by Captain James V. Carney after repairing Henderson Field. Construction began from December 5 - 17, 1942, resulting in an emergency runway 150' x 7300'.

On December 16, 1942 the first landing was by SBD Dauntless 06667 piloted by Captain Carney who pronounced the strip satisfactory. After taking off again, his plane developed motor trouble over Skylark Channel and crashed killing both aboard. Afterwards, the new airfield was named "Carney Field" for Captain James V. Carney.

Further expanded, this airfield was designed for use by 13th Air Force heavy bombers with several taxiways added to both sides of the runway. By January 1945 the main runway was 6,700' x 150'.
