north of LuZon where we observed
two small japanese transports.
But we were after bigger game
and changed our course to travel
south, hitting Luzon at Aparri.
There we saw seven Ships-three
transports, three destroyers, and ono
big fat son of a. Three pur-
suits took after us so we climbed up
to 10000 feet and the pursuits left
us, leaving the field open on Il
perfect bombing day.
At this choice altitude, Kelly. my

we decided to let go.
Over the battleshir, we dropped
our three bombs in trail. They
made a perfect braCket-one hit
near the starboard side, SO close
that it was almost 4 miss. The sec
ond hit mdsnlps near the funnel
and the other explosion occurred
near the portside
1t was a bombardier's dream. The
gods Of luck were with us and when
we left the battleship already was
burning fiercely. Bombardier Corp.
M. Levin deserves special credit
since he was using an untried bomb

than he usually operated.
Highly satisfied with the accom-

understand why the warrant was
not served on him immediately al
ter II was issued instead OF being

did not know anything about the
