About the Book
This fourth volume matches Japanese and Allied records for chosen engagements to give an accurate account of aerial warfare in the Solomons, an approach the authors note often differs from the claims made by either side at the time. It focuses on confrontations between the Japanese Naval Air Force and Allied air power in the Solomons between 1943 and 1944, the period after the 1942 Guadalcanal campaign when the JNAF fought a largely defensive war but continued to contest the skies around its base at Rabaul into late 1943, before its presence in the region was wound down through 1944.
