The campaign for control of North Africa began when Italy declared war on the Allies in June, 1940 and ended with the surrender of the Axis in Tunisia 35 months later. This quiz is designed as an introduction to the campaign.

At the start of the war Japanese aircraft dominated the skies over the Pacific and SE Asia. Japan's pilots were the most experienced and highly trained in the world, and the aircraft they flew were the equal of any nation.

The objective of this quiz is to name a person, place, event, operation, tactic, strategy and/or equipment (be it a weapon or otherwise) that applies to the world conflict from 1 September 1939 to the surrender of Japan in August 1945.
