Marston mats were snap together metal mats that were used on the airfields of of the South Pacific and Central Pacific islands during World War 2. They were named after the city that made and sold them. They were used in Vietnam war too.
Look in the history books you people.... In what way is Hawaii supposed to be important to Arab or Jew ?
Both MacArthur and Nimitz knew the major islands held by the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean had to be taken by the US. They developed an Island Hopping strategy. They would skip every other island they came to (there were too many small islands to deal with). This would cut off supply lines to the islands they skip, lessen casualties, and save a lot of time. Japan had made the error of not devoting enough of its army to the Pacific Islands. They also failed to have enough aircraft carriers. This gave the US an advantage.
Very important. The Pacific theater was made of small islands held by the Japanese. They were dug in, so it meant that the troops had to land on each island and fight ( just like DDay landings, but many more than one). Support from the air was important in taking the islands because they would bomb the islands first. The Japanese air force also had planes that would bomb our ships so they worked at keeping them away from the ships and to fight them in the air. Watch the series Victory at Sea and you will see real footage of the war in the Pacific.
Yes, many allied soldiers died in an attempt to turn back the Japanese attempt to take over the Pacific, but the outcome was inevitable.
