Original caption: "Guadalcanal Navy and Marine Airman Play Decisive Part in Munda Capture. The daily bombings of Munda Point by U.S. Navy and Marine airmen, based on Guadalcanal, played a vital part in the Allied capture of that Japanese stronghold in the central Solomons. Based on Guadalcanal, 175 miles away, Grumman Avenger (TBF) torpedo bombers and Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers pounded the enemy base daily with 1,000 to 2,000 pound bombs, and made destructive raids on enemy shipping in the area. Army, Navy, and Marine fighter pilots brought down 358 Japanese planes during the air offensive against Munda. Caption: Servicing an Avenger.
