It's amazing how much went on that never makes it to the history books...or articles. I've learned similar things about the air war over Guadalcanal in conversation with Joe Foss.

As SAM said, we honor your father's service and thank you for bringing us his story.

>>I've learned similar things about the air war over Guadalcanal in conversation with Joe Foss.

After Savo Island, the fact that Joe Foss and others maintained a fragile air superiority over Guadalcanal, from Henderson Field, was about all that stopped serious daytime naval bombardment of the Marines. The Marines were "lucky" that the Japanese capital ships would only run down the Slot for less-accurate night time bombardments.
