ATTACKING AT NIGHT
GOOD QUALITY JAP. PILOTS ENCOUNTERED (Rec. 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Tokio radio stated that 300 American planes, apparently from carriers operating east of Luzon Island, raided the Manila, Clark airfield, and Pegaspi areas to-day. A message, from Allied headquarters on Leyte says, although Japanese airmen generally are avoiding daylight combats, they are ceaselessly attacking at night, but mostly with single planes or small formations. Apparently a good quality of pilots recently arrived in the Philippines. One shot down carried a newspaper published in Japan a few days ago. The Japanese also dive-bombed and strafed American positions at dawn yesterday.
