Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Empire rapidly surged out into south-east Asia and the Central Pacific. Air Front - Japan: Triumph & Defeat ’41 - ‘45 tells the story of the initial Japanese successes and then the relentless fight back by the Allies across the vast distances of the Pacific.
Allied Air Force and Navy aircraft supported the advance through the Solomon, Gilbert, Marshall and Philippine Island groups. With the Mariana Islands secured the massive B-29 bombing campaign, which had begun from China, would now take the war to Japan itself, culminating in the devastating atomic bomb attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
