Extreme humidity; heavy restrictions on re-supply of medical, food, clothing, ammo, water, fuel, spare parts for airplanes and tanks, etc. due to logistical methods being restricted to Aircraft and Ships. In addition, distances were so great in the pacific, that any "lone" aircraft or vessel could be targeted by enemy submarines/aircraft, and never reach their distination...becoming "over-due, presumed lost." In Europe, trucks could travel over dirt/paved roads, and England was just across the channel (50 miles away). In the pacific, it was planes & ships; if they got lost or torpedoed, then there would be NO resupply.

∙ 14y agoThe Pacific front in WWII was horrlble. Japanes troops fighting to the death would kill as many enemy troops as they could before they were killed. American forces suffered horrible causilities as they fought for islands the size of Times Square. On one island, Iwo Jima, anywhere from 19,000- 25,000 Japanes soldiers killed over 6,000 marines and wounded 22,000 more on a island about 10 square miles. The fighting was always fierce and death was common. There was a saying that marines that fought the Japanese weren't afraid of Hell. They had already been there.

How did imint evolve during the First World War?
Imint did not really evolve during the First World War. Most of the time during the war they used cameras attached to the side of the plane. All imagery was for tactical use, such as artillery effects and observing the front line. It was in the interbellum when both the plane and camera evolved greatly. Because of that the effects of imint were much bigger during the Second World War. They were finally able to use imint for designating strategic targets like industries and make the bombing more effective.
