MUSHASHIMA PLANT WINDS ErEoUNTERED NEW YORK, Dec. 5. “Substantial damage has been inflicted on the Mushashima aircraft plant in Tokio, but it was not destroyed by a damned sight,” said Brigadier-General Hansell, address-* ing a press conference on Saipan.

The raiders encountered extremely high winds, especially last Sunday, when winds approaching 200 miles an hour increased the difficulty of aiming and timing the runs.
