In 1941, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese took possession of Guam. In 1944, the USA was determined to take back their small pacific territory and launched an invasion to reclaim the strategic position. Anticipating the American invasion, the Japanese built significant defenses along the beach and in the hills. These three Vickers-type Model 3s are located up a short hill in the village of Piti (not far from the Piti Power Plant).
To find the trail, head south from Tumon or Hagatna on Hwy 1 (Marine Drive). Before you reach the power plant, you'll pass a Day-by-Day store and a 76 Circle K gas station. Turn left off Hwy 1 at the first road past 76 Circle K. Drive a short distance to read Our Lady of Assumption Church. The trail begins with a set of stairs leading up the hill on the church's back left side (see the video for visuals).
PSA: The use of unmanned aircraft (drones) is prohibited on National Park Service lands. I was unaware of this rule before filming this video. I no longer operate a drone on NPS land and encourage everyone to abide by all federal and state regulations.
