Dunkelgrun you could be right. I found no photo dated 1941 Dec, which could clearly show, that the runway was already paved or not paved. So I had to make a decision and chose to pave the runway of wheeler. All the photos dated 1942 show a clean paved runway. It looks better I think and the second reason is, that this is also a good compromise to Oahu in later years.

I read, that they began to pave the runway late in year 1941.

What do you think is the best way?

Porto, I knew I had a reason for suspecting it to be unpaved. P.120 of 'Pearl Harbor' by H.P.Wilmott has an aerial picture taken during the first phase of the attack. Wheeler is definitely a grass runway; only the ramp is concreted. I don't have the means to scan it in atm, but hopefully someone can.
It's still your decision as how to show it though - I'm just happy that you've done so much work on this map already.
