It can be read alone or as part of the ongoing Solomons Air War series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pivotal period marked a fierce new post-Guadalcanal phase of the Solomons campaign, spurred by Japan's audacious Operation I-Go, a huge air assault designed to crush Allied defences. The operation forced a temporary retreat of US naval forces, but ultimately sealed the fate of its revered mastermind, Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, who was eliminated in a brilliant, long-range American fighter interception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Allied air power continued to consolidate on both Guadalcanal and the Russell Islands, primed for an advance into the northern Solomons. Alongside Operation I-Go, the March to June 1943 period saw repeated large-scale aerial combat, culminating in the campaign's largest clash to date resulting from the obscure Operation Se.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst this background Cactus Air Force utilised diverse land-based US Navy carrier squadrons while its heavy bombers established a permanent presence at Carney Field. In other developments USMC F4U Corsairs assumed a prominent role in fighter operations, TBF Avengers pioneered offensive aerial minelaying and B-25 Mitchells made their Solomons combat debut in June. Sourced directly from primary Allied and Japanese records, this chronicle delivers a raw, factual and immersive account of the increasingly complex Solomons theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Avonmore Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603832832174,"sku":"9781764193795","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781764193795.jpg?v=1790746672","url":"https:\/\/rzm.com\/de\/products\/solomons-air-war-volume-5-operation-i-go-and-the-death-of-yamamoto-march-june-1943","provider":"RZM Imports Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
