It was fought in waters near the Philippine islands of Leyte, Samar, and Luzon, from October 23-26 1944, between combined American and Australian forces and the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was the first battle in which Japanese aircraft carried out organized kamikaze attacks. (cropped and cleaned).
