The Papua and New Guinea Campaign of WW2 Part 1: The Battle of Milne Bay

The first major element of Japan's 1942 offensive in Papua, Japanese marines would assault the Australian held airbase at Milne Bay. Japanese naval superiority would be pitted against allied air power, and the Australian infantry would have to face down several night attacks by Japanese tanks. A hard fought allied victory, the Battle of Milne Bay would prove to be a critical early turning point in the pacific war.
