seen climbing steeply, out of control.
A burst was fired into third Zero

The attacks ON Lac ana KoepanG
followed the Rabaul raid on Sunday
when Australian fighters protected
the American flying fortresses.
The allied planes fought Japa-
nese Navy-0 fighters and terrific
nti-aircraft fire from shore batter
les and various ships in harbor, es-
pecially from the target itself.
One bomb made a direct hit on
the ship near the stern. A second
fell SO close that a great column
of water was thrown over the ship.
A third apparently went so close 1t
blew off a section of the ships
side. for debris was mixed with the
water which was thrown up.
One pilot said he saw the ship
afire as he left.
The Navy-O's fought desperately
to save the ship. One of them dlYed
suddenly toward earth, leaving

believed two more were downed.
