For those interested in what the Bougainville campaign of 1944-45 was like for the Aussies on the ground, I recommend the book mentioned in the title; in a word, horrifying! A few mentions of "our Corsairs" and the damage they inflicted, too.
I found this very easy to read as it's told with a laconic, rather wry style and, once again, I find myself ever so grateful to these Diggers for keeping my old man safe from the Japs!!
