The Pacific — Solomon Islands
Episodes 1–3 — Marines land on Guadalcanal and fight brutal jungle battles against Japanese forces. Henderson Field is the key objective.
The Guadalcanal campaign lasted six months (August 1942 – February 1943) and was the first major Allied offensive in the Pacific. Japan lost over 38,000 men and the ability to contest the air and sea around the island — a turning point in the Pacific War.
