Jap Hunting at Biak
South Pacific – United States Medium Tanks move ashore at Biak Island in the Schouten group. Shortly after their arrival the American tanks engaged several Japanese Tanks in the first battle of its kind in the Southwest Pacific. Even in the treacherous jungle terrain the American vehicles proved superior to the enemy’s.
