Carriers in U.S. Service

[dcrfan]

The book describes the visit as 'an expedition was hastily organised at the end of November 1942'. It later goes on 'It was eight o'clock of a January morning' then explains they flew from Espiritu Santo to Henderson Field by RNZAF Hudson so January 1943.

The author mentions a short film was made as a result of their visit Base For Attack. I wonder if a copy exists? Edit. In National Archive Wellington database:

WEEKLY REVIEW No. 86
GUADALCANAL … BASE FOR ATTACK

16mm black and white print with sound

Unfortunately the copy is restricted for issue for conservation.
