What Landing In Admiralties Means To U. S. Forces
The invasion of the Admiralty Islands by General MacArthur’s forces projects the Allies into the Bismarck Sea beyond the barrier of New Britain and New Ireland, placing them within 325 miles southeast of Rabaul and 25 miles from Kavieng. It opens an airdrome front to disrupt shipping from Truk to Rabaul, severs the Truk to Wewekna supply line, and helps open sea lanes toward the Philippines 1,300 miles away while guarding against a Japanese flank from Truk.
