| Keywords: aircraft vehicle outdoor airplane monochrome Lot-801-30: Guadalcanal Campaign, 7 August 1942 – February 9 1943. “They Control The Sky Over Munda” Pilots of a Marine fighter squadron based upon Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, are cleaning the Japanese over the sky over Munda Point, just as their comrades in the American ground forces are wiping out the defenders of the Japanese air base there. These Marine fighter pilots are supremely confident when they take to the air in their deadly new Corsair F4Us. After knocking the Japanese out of the sky, the pilots of this squadron usually top off the day’s work by diving low to shoot up a few Japanese bases. Photo Caption: His plane already warmed up, Major Weissenberger here is seen climbing into the cockpit to lead his squadron into action against the Japanese. A member of the ground crew who has given the plane a final check is preparing to clamber down from its wing. U.S. Marine Corps Photograph. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/11/06).
