ww2db.com Featured Image, #4

So you might have noticed that I’ve been writing a little about The Pacific War series, now filming in Australia. Lots of folks seem interested in this, so I’m going to ride this wave of interest where ever it takes me.

This week’s featured image shows the beach on Guadalcanal, and a beached transport (Kinugawa Maru) is in the background. Dale Dye’s most recent blog entry (highlighted in a previous post) features info about the battle inland. But there was a good deal of action on the sea between two formidable navies, and Peter Chen’s battle summary highlights the complexity of this engagement.

This has been another entry in the ww2db.com Featured Image partnership. The idea behind this post (and the weekly posts to come) is to highlight ww2db.com’s collection of 3500 plus photos, many culled from the National Archives, Library of Congress, the US Naval Historical Center, and other research institutions.
