SOLOMONS AIR WAR, VOLUME 2: Guadalcanal & Santa Cruz, October 1942

During the first three weeks of October 1942, busy Tokyo Express destroyer runs landed thousands of IJA troops on Guadalcanal in advance of a new offensive to be launched against the U.S. Marine garrison. This was presages by a brutal battleship bombardment of Henderson Field and daily air raids against the same target. Well illustrated some in color.
