U.S. Forces Occupy Strategic Islands in South Pacific -- U.S. Marine raiders study the remains of a Japanese Zero fighter plane they discovered on one of the Russell Islands, when U.S. Forces occupied this strategic outpost 30 miles northwest of Guadalcanal in the Solomons several weeks ago. The plane crashed while attempting to reach its base after being hit by American gunfire. The American forces approached the Russells expecting a fight, but the Japanese had evacuated them and the occupation was completed without opposition. July 19, 1943.
