The Hollandia-Aitape Invasions
Manage episode 415182353 series 2875251
In April 1944, General Douglas MacArthur’s forces made a 580-mile amphibious leap to seize airfields at Hollandia and Aitape in New Guinea. It was a bold plan that meant making two simultaneous amphibious landings deep in enemy territory and it was the first time Admiral Chester Nimitz’s aircraft carriers supported a MacArthur assault.
Join MacArthur Memorial historians Jim Zobel and Amanda Williams for a discussion of these operations and the logistics involved.
