Description
Guadalcanal 1942-43: Japan's Bid to Knock Out Henderson Field and the Cactus Air Force This book tells the story of Japan's long-range air campaign against Guadalcanal, focusing on the crucial role of Henderson Field in the Pacific Theater. The Allies' victory was secured through a combination of strategic planning and effective countermeasures. The Japanese Imperial Navy's Air Force launched a series of attacks on the island, but their efforts were hindered by the distance from Rabaul and the vulnerability of their primary bomber to interception. Meanwhile, the Cactus Air Force, comprising Marine, Navy, and Army Air Force units, defended the airfield against constant Japanese attacks. Full-color illustrations and contemporary photography support this account of the air campaign, providing a detailed look at one of the most significant battles in World War II.
