Intense River Crossing Under Fire!

In the opening months of the Guadalcanal campaign, Henderson Field became the key to the entire fight, as U.S. Marines defended the airstrip under constant Japanese pressure. Air raids struck without warning, reinforcements arrived under cover of darkness, and the Tokyo Express kept the battle active every night. The outcome would decide who controlled the skies over the island.

This episode follows the defense of the field, the rise of the Cactus Air Force, and the growing strain on both sides as larger offensives took shape. Every repair and every mission carried the weight of what came next.
