On April 18, 1943, Yamamoto Isoroku was carrying out an inspection tour in the South Pacific. American code breakers had intercepted his itinerary days earlier. U.S. commanders hastily organized "Operation Vengeance." A squadron of P-38 Lightnings was dispatched from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, and Yamamoto was killed in a burst of gunfire over Bougainville Island.
