Navy photograph) This is an aerial view of part of that strategic Guadalcanal Island airfield for recapture of which the Japs have started an all-out drive. The photograph was made as Marines chased out the Japs to take the field in early phase of the Solomons campaign. This is a dispersal area, with U-shaped revetments in course of construction. Each "U" could shelter a plane from strafing attack. |
