WARHAWKS' FINE WORK
(N.Z.E.F. Official War Correspondent) SOUTH PACIFIC BASE, Mar. 13. In a smashing attack on the New Britain supply area at Vunapope, 22 New Zealand Warhawks wreaked, considerable damage. Great columns of heavy smoke spread over the targets as the New Zealanders departed from one of their best efforts yet in the Pacific. Eight enemy planes were sighted, but no interception was attempted. A few minutes later United States Army Airacobras dived in through the smoke with more bombs and reported that six fires were burning from the previous raid.
