war. The following day our ship
and one other Fortress left Java
about l pm. bound for Kendari in
the southeastern part of Celebes.
Arriving there that evening We re-
fueled, loaded with bombs and
checked our airplanes and arma-
ment thoroughly. 1t was pm.
before we were finished our job and
in readiness to hit our objective the
next morning at dawn. Take off
was scheduled for am. We were
just settling down for a few hours
sleep under the wing of the plane
when Dutchman came over to
warn us that the Japs had made a
landing just 10 miles from the air
drome. From a Chinaman who had
just escaped from them we learned
that there were about so in the
party armed with bolo knives,
tommie guns, etc-the conventional
equipment used by Jap jungle
troops and advanced landing parties.
Five Planes in All.
With our two Fortresses there
were also three equally
large four-engined American planes.
In the complete darkness we would
have been no match for a surprise
attack by these well-trained, we'll
armed Japs. We had only one
choice for our defense. We assem-
bled the five planes into a rough
circle with the tail guns pointing
outward. Then, with the exception
of the tail gunners who were man
ming their guns, the rest of us lay
down in the grass beside our planes
armed with rifles and pistols. Our
defense tactics were identical with
those employed by our own west
ward-bound wagon trains years ago.
1--WE remained on the alert in this
position until am. Fortunately the
Japs never attacked. Looking back
upon that night I am inclined to
think that the story of their land
ing was fake rumor, because Ken
dari was not actually attacked until
10 days later.
AT am, as scheduled, we took
off for Menado. small town on the
northeastern tip of the Celebes. The
LlberatorS were to bomb the air
drome while we in the Fortresses hit
any shipping which might be in the
harbor. Everything went off as
planned, although the attack on the
airdrome was not successful. The
Liberators and FortresseS split up
just before reaching our objective,
so that from now on my story will
deal almost entirely with our two
ships.
Transport is Attacked.
"Just as the sun came over the
horizon we went down on the har-
Dor and bombed a large transport
of about 5000 tons. -Four direct hits
were scored, and she rolled over.
Some five minutes later we were at
tackled by Is Jap Zero fighters (un-
questionably one of the outstanding
fighters in the world. For 35 min
nutes we were engaged in one of the
epic aerial fights of the war.
II was in the lead ship with Maj.
Necrasson plotting. The Nips made
their first pass from the tail. The
tail gunner, Pvt. Hegdahl, waited
until they were within easy range
before opening up. The first of the
two attacking fighters shuddered,
then spun seaWard leaving q trail
of smoke and flame behind 1t. The
other one had already opened up
on us In the meantime. One OF the

A drink or two would not be bad, but what to do after that We walked out past Ais Chicken Inn, Next time we'll walk out on the other road Then what?
 That's something the town of Kodiak should think about Now is Kodiak going to meet the challenge that the presence of number of Uncle Sans men presents? Or is it going to stub borply remain nothing more than a pioneer outpost? Sure, much has been done. But what for entertainment? A roller skat- ing rink, penny arcade, carnival, side shows . anything like that. 1 know lots of fellows who refuse a chance to go to town because there is nothing to do. Myself, 1 can get a long But why not get something going. I'd spend little money in town if 1 had something besides drinks to spend it on. 1 don't drink so I don't spend.
