CRIPPLING AIR BLOWS ON JAPANESE FLEET
THE chief Pacific event has been the American air attacks on the Japanese Fleet in its home bases. In a crippling blow they damaged one, if not two battleships, two or three aircraft carriers, and 12 warships besides smashing ground installations. With earlier attacks, the Americans destroyed 475 Jap planes on the southernmost island of Japan and damaged well over 100 more.
American losses were extremely light.
