Description

US Navy map of The Battle of the Eastern Solomons. Tracks of Allied (U.S.) forces are most likely fairly accurate. Tracks of Japanese forces are approximate and/or conjectured. The term "Jap" is used as shorthand for "Japanese" on the map. It's unknown whether this was used pejoratively in this publication or as an accepted abbreviation at that time.
