• Sommario/riassunto: This study, 'Cactus Air Power at Guadalcanal' by Major Timothy L. Clubb, examines the critical role of the Cactus Air Force during the Guadalcanal campaign in World War II. The campaign, beginning as the first U.S. ground offensive in the Pacific, evolved into a prolonged battle for control over the Solomon Islands. The Cactus Air Force, composed of U.S. Marine Corps, Navy, and Army Air Force units, played a pivotal role by denying Japanese air superiority and assisting in repelling major offensives. Despite facing severe shortages and operating from an expeditionary airfield, the air force's efforts were instrumental in achieving U.S. objectives. The study focuses on the application of air power in various operations and the evolution of air tactics. It aims to provide insights into the operational challenges and strategic contributions of air power during this significant military campaign.
