Three airstrips were hastily cleared on land to the west and southwest of Kingston by US forces in 1942, but they were not used due to the sloping nature of the ground on which they were sited.

The east end of the northernmost airstrip, A-11, commenced at the eastern side of Woodridge Park in Logan Central, west of Jacaranda Avenue. The strip extended to the southwest, parallel with Wembley Road, roughly in line with Gilmore Road.

South of A-11 was another airstrip, named A-10. The southern end of A-10 was located near the roundabout at the intersection of Chambers Flat Road and Browns Plains Road in Marsden, and the airstrip extended to the northwest ending in the area of Eliza Court.

One end of the southernmost airstrip, A-12, was located on the south side of Bumstead Road, just west of its intersection with Chambers Flat Road in Park Ridge. The strip headed southwest, angling slightly away from Chambers Flat Road before ending south of Park Ridge Road.

At both ends of each airstrip trees were felled to clear the approaches to the graded section of the airstrip. Today the airstrips have been erased by development, although part of the A-12 strip is visible as a cleared area on the south side of Park Ridge Road, west of Chambers Flat Road.
