	Peleliu island
		Palau was born of a sacrifice, from a giant, who fell into the sea from the island of Angaur, to become the places we now know as Babeldaob, Koror, the Rock Islands, and the outlying islands of Kayangel, Peleliu, and the distant Southwest Islands.
		Centuries past, large numbers of birds nested on Angaur, their droppings eventually becoming phosphate deposits, which led to mining of phosphate by the German Administration in the the early part of the 20th century.
		Angaur was much less fortified than Peleliu, and the island was not subject to as much shelling and damage as Peleliu had been, nor was there near as much loss of life.

	Law Clerk on Gilligan's Island: Chapter 12-- Angaur
		Angaur, having borne the lion's share of the loss, was going to be the site of the largest state funeral in Palauan history.
		Behind us, the Angaur state boat, a converted ferry (nicknamed by the locals, somewhat macabrely, as "the Titanic") crammed full of passengers, slowly lumbered away from the seawall to begin a two-hour journey to the cemetary twenty miles across the lagoon to the south.
		Although the people moved back to Angaur after the war was over, the bond between the two states had remained strong, and fifty years later, the northern state had emptied its pockets to help out its sister state to the south.

	The BentProp Project
		But ongoing military intelligence cast serious doubt on attacking Babeldaob: of 35,000 troops stationed in Palau, 25,000 were thought to be on Babeldaob in powerfully fortified and upgraded positions and there were no beaches to support a large amphibian landing.
		Once captured, airfields on both of these islands could be used or developed to support air suppression of the larger northern Japanese garrison on Babeldaob.
		By November the 7th AAF also began missions from Angaur to Babeldaob and Koror.

		We’ve lived on various islands in the Pacific (Yap, Fiji, The Cook Islands, and Tahiti) and chose Angaur because we thought it was the most beautiful. The island is eight miles around with hills rising in the center and lakes in between.
		A path lined with giant banyan trees connects the island’s five beaches. All of Angaurs residents live in a small cluster of cement houses on the other side from our site. The island is also home to a few hundred monkeys, monitor lizards, and though we have never seen one, saltwater crocodiles.
		Our particular site occupies about a quarter mile of coastline. To avoid sand flies we chose to build on a small cliff above the water rather on a beach. That said, access into the water in front of our house is reasonably straightforward.
