The Man Who Drove Japan Insane - The Terror of Rabaul
On January 14, 1944, the United States Marine Corps Aviation's Fighting Squadron 215, known as the Fighting Corsairs, was in the heat of a critical mission covering a flight of bombers targeting enemy shipping.
As Fighting Corsairs approached Simpson Harbor, Rabaul, a major Japanese stronghold, they were intercepted by a superior number of Japanese fighter aircraft. The skies erupted into a whirlwind of combat, with shells shooting out, explosions lighting up the already bright sky, radio chatter filled with urgent commands, and smoke trails from damaged aircraft.
Amidst the chaos, a single pilot found himself cut off from his squadron. But this was no ordinary man; this was First Lieutenant Robert Hanson.
Alone and facing overwhelming odds, Hanson didn't waver. Instead, he single-hande...

The Bombing of Rabaul, November 11, 1943
In November 1943, the allies in the Pacific launched a series of desperate, nearly unprecedented, and extraordinarily risky attacks that culminated on November 11. Armistice Day 1943 is history that deserves to be remembered.

Rabaul’s volcanic past 🌋 | Back Roads | ABC Australia
Rabaul, Papua New Guinea was known as the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’ for its spectacular deep-water harbour and natural beauty. It is home to two volcanoes that flank the harbour, Mt. Vulcan and Mt. Tavurvur. In 1994, both volcanoes erupted and buried the town.

Rabaul Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 7:3:23
Rabaul is a township in the East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea, on the island of New Britain. It lies about 600 kilometres to the east of the island of New Guinea. Rabaul was the provincial capital and most important settlement in the province until it was destroyed in 1994 by falling ash from a volcanic eruption in its harbour. During the eruption, ash was sent thousands of metres into the air, and the subsequent rain of ash caused 80% of the buildings in Rabaul to collapse. After the eruption the capital was moved to Kokopo, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) away. Rabaul is continually threatened by volcanic activity, because it is on the edge of the Rabaul caldera, a flooded caldera of a large pyroclastic shield.
Rabaul was planned and built around the harbour area known as Simpso...

Exploring Rabaul and Kokopo
Visit: http://www.papuanewguinea.travel/eastnewbritain
Rabaul is a treasure trove of World War Two relics, tunnels and caverns to explore within driving distance of Rabaul. Close to the now thriving centre of Kokopo, are the remnants of Gunantambu mansion, built in the 1880s by the legendary Queen Emma. After the eruption of Tavurvur and Vulcan in September 1994, most Rabaul services were relocated to Kokopo. The town has grown rapidly and the busy market, selling fresh produce, local cigars and betel nut, is located on the main road from Tokua Airport. The waterfront is the place to find boats for travel to the outer islands or for a spot of fishing.
The video features the song 'Abebe', used with kind permission from George Telek.

Mission to Rabaul - Nonstop action in the South West Pacific 1943
This is one of the all time classic documentaries from World War 2 -- an action packed epic! Rabaul, a large natural harbor on the eastern end of the huge Island of New Britain was an essential strategic linchpin for the Japanese from which they could project their forces throughout the region. They poured tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of airplanes, and thousands of tons of supplies and material into this base to make it a mighty fortress. The Allies' brilliant solution to the Rabaul conundrum was to isolate it, slowly starve it, and bypass it -- rather than assault it directly.
This dramatic, high impact documentary film shows some of the most memorable, exciting, and extensive footage of 5th Air Force B-25G bombers conducting tree top level attacks with machine guns and delayed...

The Carrier Raids on Rabaul with guest co-host Jon Parshall-Episode 221
This week Seth and guest co-host Jon Parshall maneuver their way through the two aircraft carrier raids on the Japanese fortress of Rabaul. The team goes through the personal stories of some of those involved, discusses the impact of the raids on the almost mythical Japanese complex, and discusses the ships used in both raids. Tune in and see how these two raids impacted the overall campaign not only in the Solomons area, but the war as a whole.

Alone and facing overwhelming odds, Hanson didn't waver. Instead, he single-handedly engaged the enemy, destroying five aircraft despite being low on ammunition and fuel.
This incredible feat earned him the nickname "The Terror of Rabaul."
In the following two weeks, Hanson, one of the greatest pilots in the Pacific Theater, would go on to down 15 more.

Rabaul is a township in the East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea, on the island of New Britain. It lies about 600 kilometres to the east of the island of New Guinea. Rabaul was the provincial capital and most important settlement in the province until it was destroyed in 1994 by falling ash from a volcanic eruption in its harbour. During the eruption, ash was sent thousands of metres into the air, and the subsequent rain of ash caused 80% of the buildings in Rabaul to collapse. After the eruption the capital was moved to Kokopo, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) away. Rabaul is continually threatened by volcanic activity, because it is on the edge of the Rabaul caldera, a flooded caldera of a large pyroclastic shield.
Rabaul was planned and built around the harbour area known as Simpsonhafen (Simpson Harbour) during the German New Guinea administration, which controlled the region between 1884 and formally through 1919. Rabaul was selected as the capital of the German New Guinea administration in 1905, and the administrative offices were transferred there in 1910. Rabaul was captured by the British Empire during the early days of World War I. It became the capital of the Australian-mandated Territory of New Guinea until 1937, when it was first destroyed by a volcano. During World War II, it was captured by Japan in 1942 and became its main base of military and naval activity in the South Pacific. Settlements and military installations around the edge of the caldera are often collectively called Rabaul, although the old town of Rabaul was reduced to practical insignificance by the volcanic eruption in 1937.
As a tourist destination, Rabaul is popular for its volcanoes, scuba diving and for snorkelling sites, spectacular harbour and other scenery, World War II history, flora and fauna, and the cultural life of the Tolai people. Before the 1994 eruption, Rabaul was a popular commercial and recreational boating destination; fewer private small craft visit now, but 10 to 12 cruise ships visit Rabaul each year, including the Queen Elizabeth, carrying up to 2,000 passengers. Tourism is a major industry in Rabaul and East New Britain generally.

After the eruption of Tavurvur and Vulcan in September 1994, most Rabaul services were relocated to Kokopo.

This is one of the all time classic documentaries from World War 2 -- an action packed epic! Rabaul, a large natural harbor on the eastern end of the huge Island of New Britain was an essential strategic linchpin for the Japanese from which they could project their forces throughout the region. They poured tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of airplanes, and thousands of tons of supplies and material into this base to make it a mighty fortress. The Allies' brilliant solution to the Rabaul conundrum was to isolate it, slowly starve it, and bypass it -- rather than assault it directly.
This dramatic, high impact documentary film shows some of the most memorable, exciting, and extensive footage of 5th Air Force B-25G bombers conducting tree top level attacks with machine guns and delayed action bombs to come out of World War 2 .The first step in the reduction of Rabaul was the seizure of a string of Japanese bases along the Northeast coast of New Guinea.
The film focuses on the decisive and revolutionary impact of the air component in the strategy, including high & low level attacks, parachute drops, and resupply, accompanied by a magnificent musical score drawn from Holst's "The Planets." You're literally sitting in the cockpit or in the tail gunners seat watching amazing low level attack runs. You'll also see P-38s, A-20s, B-25s and B-24 cooperating with US Australian and New Zealand Forces securing forward air bases to strike against Rabaul and for the invasion of New Britain. "Mission to Rabaul" shows how each piece of this classic strategy culminated inevitably in the first escorted, massed bomber strike on Rabaul on 12th October, 1943 an essential goal in the reduction of Japanese defenses.
