Strike Missions: Guadalcanal
An exhilarating breakdown of some of history's most decisive battles. With expert analysis and eyewitness accounts examining the strategy behind the chaos of the war. The Guadalcanal campaign began on August 7th, 1942 and lasted until February of 1943. The main objective of the fighting was a tiny airstrip that the Japanese were building at the western end of Guadalcanal, a speck of land in the Solomon Islands. The airstrip, later named Henderson Field, would become an important launching point for Allied air attacks during the Pacific island-hopping campaign. Every branch of the US military fought in the battle. Most battles are at least primarily fought in one domain. A ground battle is backed up by air power, or an air engagement has some defence from ships, but Guadalcanal was total war.
