Landing on Admiralty Island tightens Allied blockade
American forces execute a surprise landing at an airfield on Admiralty Islands, 240 miles north of Madang New Guinea. MacArthur says the move tightens the Allied blockade and eases supply lines while enclosing remaining Japanese forces in New Britain and Rabaul. Soviet, Italian, and German actions frame a broad war update with Rome beachhead pressure and record daylight raids.
