 | The Siege of Rabaul by Henry Sakaida
Rabaul, on New Britain Island, was the cornerstone of Japanese power in the Southwest Pacific island campaign. It was eventually reduced by Allied airpower and then isolated and left to wither. Matching Japanese diaries and interviews with similar material from the Allies, Sakaida records the final epic air battles of early 1944 which broke the back of Rabaul's aerial might. Sakaida also details the ordeal of the abandoned Japanese units and their ingenious efforts to keep a guerrilla air force operating until the end of the war in 1945. Many rare photos from Japanese and American sources vividly depict battle conditions, detail encounters with Allied adversaries, and provide perspectives from both sides. AUTHOR: Henry Sakaida
