== Transport == The island is connected by a network of roads. Secondary roads radiate out across the island and almost encircle it. On the east side of the island is a landing strip constructed during the Japanese administration. Although unimproved, the 6600 foot runway known as the [[Angaur Airstrip]] is used for the single-engine plane serving Angaur with daily flights from the [[Airai]] airport. The presence of the runway played an important role in the decision by the Americans to take Angaur along with [[Bililiou|Beliliou]] during World War II. Unlike the battle of Peleliu, however, Angaur received much less shelling before the invasion and the battle did not entail the tragic loss of life witnessed on Beliliou.<ref name=":1" />
