Third Amphibious Force (Rear Admiral Theodore S. Wilkinson) lands Navy,
Marine, and Army personnel at Vella Lavella, Solomons, thus by-passing
enemy positions on Kolombangara, Solomons.This advanced the Solomons campaign considerably, but many naval battles were to follow.
Meanwhile, to the north, Naval task force under Commander North Pacific Force (Vice Admiral
Thomas C. Kinkaid) lands U.S. Army and Canadian troops at Kiska,
Aleutians. They find Kiska had been evacuated by the Japanese on 28 July
1943. Only casualties in the operation occur because of accidents or
friendly fire incidents.
