The Japanese bastion of Rabaul was their Gibraltar of the Southwest Pacific in WWII. But by 1944 Allied forces had won the battle for the Solomons and Rabaul was encircled and besieged. It was bypassed and never invaded. This is the incredible story of its siege and the activities of its surviving guerrilla air force. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Now over twenty years old, this volume is probably the definitive oral history of the aviators involved in the Rabaul campaign. The book is broken up into chapters covering particular incidents and daily life of the protagonists involved including their postwar thoughts covering that particular chapter. Chapters on the post-war life and fate of the Rabaul POWs are also included. This not a history based on combat reports or a record of tabular movements, this is history based on how the participants remember it. Highly recommended as a "unofficial history" for any one interested in the SWPA theater. (
