Over New Guinea big United States Army transport planes fly troops by the hundreds across the Owen Stanley Mountains for the final Allied assault upon Japanese bases on this strategic island in the South Pacific.

For weeks American and Australian soldiers and marines pressed forward through jungle country relentlessly driving the Japanese back into the sea. Stopping only to reform their lines, to coordinate their plan of attack, they rest where they can, ammunition always ready. A captured machine gun now turned against the enemy. The American success against the Japanese in New Guinea, a saga of courage and bravery in the face of incredible odds.
