and after WORLD WAR II broke out it began to shore up its defenses building hundreds of bunkers
and caves to defend the islands from an American attack. General Macarthur who wanted to secure islands to the east as he prepared to invade the Philippines ordered that attack in 1944.
The U s. began with a furious air campaign that was designed to knock out Japanese vessels clustered in Palau's western lagoon
and adjacent harbors and clear the way for an amphibious assault. These people died defending usthat September the U s. Marines landed on the island of Peleliu.
Although they ultimately won that battle it came at a terrible cost: 10000 Japanese and 1700 Americans were killed in action the highest casualty rate of WORLD WAR II's Pacific Theater.
And between the beginning of the air campaign and the end of the war Bentprop estimates 200 U s. aircraft were shot down inside Palau's barrier reef.

the force exerted by a massive object points directly toward that object's present position.
For example even though the Sun is 500 light seconds from the Earth newtonian gravity describes a force On earth directed towards the Sun's position now not its position 500 seconds ago.
Strictly speaking gravity is not a force in general relativity and a description in terms of speed and direction can be tricky.
In that case one finds that the force in GR is not quite central it does not point directly towards the source of the gravitational field
