On the 80th Anniversary of the end of the War in the Pacific, join us on our WWII in the Pacific: Northern Marianas Tour.
You will travel to the islands where the battles raged on the land, air and sea. Led by historians who are experts on the Pacific Theater, you will learn about the strategy of island hopping—skipping islands heavily defended by the Japanese to capture less fortified ones—that led to the Allied victory.
You will begin where the war began, at Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, and then travel on to Guam, Saipan and Tinian, where you will explore the remote island beaches, caves and jungles that were the battlegrounds of the Pacific front. You will also visit key command centres and memorial sites, including the launching field for the Enola Gay and Bockscar.
These B-29 bombers dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hastening Japan’s surrender on September 2, 1945, and forcing an end to the War in the Pacific.
For information on an option to attend The Iwo Jima Reunion of Honor 80th Anniversary Commemorations on the final day of the tour, email info@stephenambrosetours.com or call us at 504.821.9283.
