How long did it take to set up those metal runways? Were the metal sheets spiked into the ground? How big were they? Also, how are commercial runways built?

  • $\begingroup$ What are you talking about? What "portable runway" are you asking about? Where was it built? When? $\endgroup$

Google is your friend. Try it. "perforated metal airstrip"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marston_Mat

"A runway two hundred feet wide and 5000 feet (1500 m) long could be created within two days by a small team of engineers."
