The Cactus Air Force v. The Tokyo Express

Ray Harris Jr. covers the late August–early September 1942 struggle over Guadalcanal — the Japanese Tokyo Express reinforcement runs and the Cactus Air Force's attempts to interdict them. Short at 27 minutes but tightly focused on the operational cat-and-mouse that set the stage for the next major ground battle. Harris's chronological approach means you get the day-by-day texture that broader accounts skip.
