| 説明 | “A YANK RUNAWAY NOW-----A Navy PBY plane hands at the Guadalcanal airport shortly after the Marines had captured the base. The Japs had just completed the airport and had planned to use it as a jumping off point for air attacks on American ships.’"[T]his is the eleventh of August 1942, and this is interesting because it is the first plane to land on the runway. And it is the commander for air in the South Pacific, a Rear Admiral McCain. He came in to inspect and decide whether it was possible to land fire planes or not. He decided it was, though really it wasn't."----From the Thayer Soule Collection (COLL/2266) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
