@ Panzer Hey Thanks for the Info and Involvment! Most of that Info is "Scene Setting" for this campaign, what I mean by that is that most of that Info seems to be great data about the land and naval battles for Guadalcanal. This Campaign begins several months after Guadalcanal is secured.
I loved this, it was watched by pilots getting the F4U-1 for the first time, much like VMF-213. I'm sure they saw this film at some point in time.
