Famous airstrip on the island of guadalcanal did American airmen fly?
Henderson Field. The Japanese had occupied Guadalcanal and begun building this airfield, which was the reason the US invaded the island. If the Japanese had finished the airstrip the airplanes operating from it could have reached northern Australia and could have attacked ships on the way to and from Australia. The immediate objective of the US invasion was to capture this unfinished airfield, which was done the first day. For several months the US made no effort to clear the rest of the island of Japanese, the effort was merely to hold about a ten mile perimeter around the airfield. US engineering troops, called Seabees (from C. B. - Construction Battalions) quickly finished the airfield and it was renamed for Marine aviator Major Lofton Henderson, killed at Midway. Today it is Henderson International Airport.
Why Japanese sent part of their returning fleet to Wake Island?
The overall Japanese plan was very complicated. They were attacking in five widely separated areas, and all were to commence just as soon as the attack on Hawaii was under way.

Wake Island was a US possession and, unlike Hawaii, the Japanese intended to land troops and capture and hold the island. But their initial attack was repulsed by the Marine Defense Battalion on Wake. Part of the task force returning from Hawaii was diverted to support a renewed effort to capture Wake Island.
