MacArthur Strikes as Aussies Join Americans in New Solomons Offensive
Australian and U S forces press the fourth day of the Solomons campaign with land based bombers and carrier air power. Tulagi and Guadalcanal areas are focal points as MacArthur and Nimitz strike to erase invasion threats. Japanese claims of victory contrast with Allied reports of raids on Rabaul, Salamaua, and other targets. The action follows Australia’s Curtin urging broader ground effort and diversion of some fighters to critical theaters.
