Wednesday March 23rd, 2010 10:00pm Eastern in SEAII - This weeks snapshot is "Last of a Dying Breed" hosted by 68Baltar.
 7th of April 1943.
67 Vals and 110 Zeros were launched against the Island of Guadalcanal. The Cactus Air Force sprang into action launching elements of Army P-38s, P-39s, P-40s and Marine F4Fs, and now Marine F4Us from VMF-124 that were delivered in February. During the melee VMF-214 (flying Wildcats) drew first blood claiming 10 aircraft destroyed between Cape Esperance and Koli point. The Zero escort did a good job of tying up the defenders and the flight of Vals remained nearly intact. The Aichis swooped down and destroyed a tanker and two destroyers. At the end of the day American flyers were credited with 40 kills versus 29 acknowledged in IJN records. Out of all the fighters the Army claimed 11 and one corsair pilot claimed 1, all the rest were claimed by the Grumman F4F. This would mark the end of an era for Wildcat pilots
