Americans also destroyed or damaged 39 Japanese airplanes; the British 25. The sweeps were the most extensive carrier attacks yet made on the Japanese home islands, extending 325 miles. More than 1.200 American and British aircraft participated.

Jap Fliers Active The Japanese were stung from their apathy, or whatever has been keeping their pilots grounded while Americans repeatedly gave their war plants and airfields merciless poundings the past 15 days. Fliers reported skilled Japanese pilots flying efficient planes met them over some targets. American planes were shot down but no figures on losses have been announced yet. planes also are striking at of which there are reairfields. ported to be 50 to 60 in the target areas.

Today's first two strikes got off in favorable weather, and pilots said they did not anticipate much trouble in finding their targets. As the third strike got under way, however, the weather closed in, limiting visibility. As a result, this strike was instructed to hit "targets of opportunity." DEATHS McKASKLE-George W.
