The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was a watershed in the history of military aviation. On the heels of victory in the Solomon's Island chain, the battle marked the destruction of a major Japanese convoy reinforcing New Guinea by air power alone.

Especially critical to the operation were their combined army and navy air forces; the Japanese fully understood the lessons of air power and intended to contest allied air superiority.
