The Bombing of Rabaul in February and March 1942 occurred when Allied forces launched counter-attacks against the Empire of Japan base at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Rabaul had been captured by the Japanese during the Battle of Rabaul earlier in February.The bombing started on 20 February 1942 by the United States Navy task force with the flag ship Lexington, commanded by Vice Admiral Wilson Brown. Later, the same officer commanded a new task force supported by the carrier Yorktown on 10 March 1942 with the same purpose, amongst other objectives, in East New Guinea.The American bombings were supported by Royal Australian Air Force air strikes against the Japanese aerodromes in Rabaul during March.
