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.
