Is there a similar battle to d day?
Yes, there is in fact a battle just like D-day. I assume you are refering to the D-day that took place at Normandy, but there was another exactly alike that took place at Iwo-Jima. Iwo Jima was an isolated island that was controlled by Japan. Everything was basically the same, althought I think the battle of Normandy took place before the battle of Iwo Jima. Although Normandy was a bigger, bloodier battle and is more known to people when you refer to D-day,and Iwo Jima was just as important to yet another win for the Allies during WW2. If you want to learn more about Iwo Jima, read the book "Flags of our fathers". It is pretty interesting and engaging.

How long did it take to build Iwo Jima?
It only took a couple of months to get buildings put up and the airfield made once the Marines and Army reached the airfield of the Japanese. They started resurfacing the airfield at Iwo Jima long before the Japanese were defeated on that island. The Sea Bees were being shot at while they worked on the field. So they managed to get it done within a week or more. There were pilots who landed on that airfield doing emergency landings before they totally completed that runway.
