Describe the importance of the airpower during World War 2 in the pacific?
Very important. The Pacific theater was made of small islands held by the Japanese. They were dug in, so it meant that the troops had to land on each island and fight ( just like DDay landings, but many more than one). Support from the air was important in taking the islands because they would bomb the islands first. The Japanese air force also had planes that would bomb our ships so they worked at keeping them away from the ships and to fight them in the air. Watch the series Victory at Sea and you will see real footage of the war in the Pacific.
