DATELINE: March 2nd, 1943 - WW11 SEA SAGA
The three day Battle of the Bismark Sea began in the South West Pacific during WW11
Gen. Douglas MacArthur called the Allied victory in the Bismarck Sea “one of the most complete and annihilating combats of all time.” The three-day battle on March 2–4, 1943, simply stunned the Japanese military and changed the course of the Pacific war.
To augment the three naval and two army fighter groups in the area assigned to protect the convoy, the Imperial Japanese Navy temporarily detached ... Eight Japanese fighters were destroyed and 13 damaged in the day's action.
