G5: The Battle of the Eastern Solomons and the Tokyo Express
Podcast: Key Battles of American HistoryPublished On: Wed Mar 06 2024
Description: After the disaster at Alligator Creek, the Japanese decided to launch a larger effort to recapture Guadalcanal. The objective of this combined air, sea, and land operation was to wipe out the US carrier fleet and the Cactus Air Force and to land enough soldiers to defeat the Marines on the island. In this episode, Dave and James discuss the ongoing Japanese attempts to regain control of Guadalcanal in late August, including the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, which delayed, but did not prevent Japanese reinforcement efforts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
