Outflanking the Japanese

Japan, for the first time in her modern history has lost territory she had long controlled. The performance of the U.S. in the Marshalls invasion can only be termed excellent. The speedy capture by the navy of Kwajalein and Eniwetok atolls in the Marshalls provides a complete vindication of those military critics who have contended that the Central Pacific rather than the South-west Pacific route offers the most desirable highway to Tokyo. Fine scouting and intelligence work gave a detailed knowledge of terrain and enemy strength.
