WWII Lecture: The Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands
The Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, 26 October 1942, was the fourth carrier battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II and the fourth major naval engagement fought during the lengthy and strategically important Guadalcanal campaign. In similar fashion to the battles of Coral Sea and Midway, almost all attacks by both sides were mounted by carrier or land-based aircraft.
Duane E. Shaffer of Sanibel Public Library discusses the strategy and tactics of this battle.
The public is invited to this Library Program. There is no registration required and no additional cost to participate.
