AMAZINGLY HEAVY TOLL OF JAPANESE SHIPS. THEY TORPEDOED WAR-
SHIPS AND AUXILIARY CRAFT AND WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES INTERFERED
WITH THIS—THEIR NORMAL ACTIVITY—THEY TURNED THEIR AVENGERS
INTO BOMBERS AND ASSAULTED SHIPS, SHORE INSTALLATIONS AND
JAP TROOP CONCENTRATIONS. DURING THIS PERIOD THEY EXECUTED
40 ATTACK MISSIONS, 17 AGAINST GROUND TARGETS. FOURTEEN SHIPS
WERE HIT WITH TORPEDOES, INCLUDING 2 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, A BAT-
TLESHIP, 5 HEAVY CRUISERS, 4 LIGHT CRUISERS, 1 DESTROYER AND
1 CARGO SHIP. THEY ALSO BOMBED A HEAVY CRUISER AND A LIGHT
CRUISER. VENGEANCE HAS BEEN EXACTED BUT WE CANNOT REST ON
OUR MACHINES OR ON QUR WEAPONS. WE MUST CONTINUE TO MEET
OUR SCHEDULES: WORKING AND FIGHTING ‘TILL THE ENEMY HAS BEEN
COMPLETELY CRUSHED.
