To boost morale following Guadalcanal, Yamamoto
decided to make an inspection tour throughout
the South Pacific. On 14 April 1943, the US
naval intelligence effort, code-named "Magic",
intercepted and decrypted a message containing
specific details regarding Yamamoto's tour,
including arrival and departure times and
locations, as well as the number and types of
planes that would transport and accompany him
on the journey. Yamamoto, the itinerary revealed,
would be flying from Rabaul to Ballalae Airfield,
on an island near Bougainville in the Solomon Islands,
on the morning of 18 April. American pilots
flying P-38 Lightenings from the 339th Fighter
Squadron were tasked with shooting down Yamamotos
aircraft and the aircraft carrying his staff.
Launching an early morning the mission the Americans
pilots flew 430 miles to the rendezvous point at
wave top level.
