Do any of you know where/what Lolabinauri is/was in the Solomons.
In the pilot journels of VMF-213 I've come across this entry, and cannot find Lolabinauri.

Big day today. 0600 - 1045 raid on Lolabinauri. Repeated this afternoon. My hind end is absolutely numb. SBDs & TBFs bombed the hell out of everything; but I think we will have to attain final objective by fighter sweep. The Japs certainly are good at camouflage. Air Raid warning this evening - False.
I have spent quite a bit of time looking at place names on The Slot, but that one does not ring a bell. But that's not surprising, as there are over 700 village and place names in there, and my memory is not what it used to be
.When I get home tonight, I will check the texts.txt files and see if I can find it.
