Air battles raged all day long in the Solomons. Both sides clashed in battles to the death thousands of feet above the calm waters. Allied airmen fought bravely and many flew multiple sorties relentlessly attacking the enemy strongholds in the central Solomons. Several pilots made 'ace in a day' and earned their place in history. The Allied carrier (name withheld) played an integral role in the attacks.
Japanese pilots held their own downing many allied airmen. Henderson field along with Tulagi took the brunt of the attacks from enemy dive bombers. The Japanese pilots some with visible damage to their aircraft carried out their bombing runs pounding the small Allied field determined to throw the Americans out of the Solomons.
At days end it is hard to say who came out the victor, both sides lost many good pilots, initial reports show that the Japanese bases were ablaze all over the central Solomons.
