Cactus Air Force refers to the ensemble of Allied air power assigned to the island of Guadalcanal August 1942 until December 1942 during the early stages of the Guadalcanal Campaign, particularly those operating from Henderson Field. The term "Cactus" comes from the Allied code name for the island. In 1943, the Cactus Air Force was absorbed into AirSols, a joint command of Allied air units in the Solomon Islands.

  • Con Cactus Air Force (CAF) ci si riferisce alla forza aerea alleata attiva sull'isola di Guadalcanal dall'agosto 1942 al dicembre dello stesso anno che accompagnò fin dalle prime fasi la campagna di Guadalcanal; la CAF operò soprattutto dall'aeroporto dell'Henderson Field. Dopo dicembre, il nome ufficiale della CAF divenne Allied Air Forces in The Salomons, ma il termine originario venne usato ancora frequentemente. Il termine "Cactus" deriva dal nome in codice dato dagli Alleati all'isola. Nell'aprile del 1943 il nome cambiò nuovamente in AirSols. (it)

Depois de dezembro, o nome oficial da unidade se tornou Allied Air Forces in the Solomons (Forças Aéreas Aliadas nas Ilhas Salomão), mas Cactus Air Force (Força Aérea Cactus) ainda era usado freqüentemente para se referir à organização. O termo "Cactus" vem do nome-código dos Aliados na ilha. Em abril de 1943, a organização foi redesignada como AirSols. (pt)
