Fortress
Continued From First Page

may already have participated in
the Saturation attacks, but there has
been no official statement from Lon
don to bear out the German state
mentS.
Another recent innovation in the
American aerial assault against
Germany is the dive bombing tactics
employed by bomb-carrying P-47
Thunderbolts.
Variation of Dive Bombing.
These powerful, single-engined
lighters have been used to attack
oblectives by diving from high to
medium attitudes before releasing
the bombs.
The attack is a variation of the
old-style dive-bombing practiced by
the JU-87 StukaS, in which the
bomber dived to within short dis
tance of the target before releasing
its load. Improved defenses have
made this type of attack extremely
hazardous for the Germans.
( The new wing racks carried bv the
FortreSSes weigh roughly $50 pounds
and are of the simplest steel con-
struction. Their bombs can be re-
leased electrically or manually, and
IN sequence or IN Salvo with the
bomb bay load. They reduce the big
bombers' range because they occupy
space originally given over to extra
gasoline, and their wind resistance
necessarily reduces speed. Through
their use, however, the Fortresses
gain much heavier punch.
The latest Fortress model is the
B-l7G. Headquarters said it is
equipped with a chin turret provid-
ing greater angles for fire and a
more positive sighting mechanism
and has sufficient ammunition for
its two .50-caliber machine guns to
discourage head-on attacks
Bombardier Operates Turret.
The new turret, electrically driven
and operated by the bombardier
nestles underneath the nose of the
ship. 1t is fed by ammunition on
rollers and empty cartridge cases
and links are thrown clear of the
ship.
The statement continued:
The chin turret gives the Fort
reSs four pairs of .50-caliber ma
chine guns in the chin, upper and
ball turrets and the tail. In addi-
ton the Fortress has single
mounted guns in the nose, waist
and near the radio operator.
The B-24H (newest Liberator)
is equipped with two new power
turrets-the Emerson nose turret
and ball turret in a retractable
mount amidships. Added to the tail
turret and upper turret, these modi-
fications give the Liberator -four
power turrets.
I'm the nose turret the gunner is
protected by half-inch metal armor
and two and one-half- Inch bullet
proof glass. The armor and glass are
mounted on tracks which move with
the gun.
THE ball turret is virtually iden-
tical with the old Fortress turret
with the addition of a retractine
mechanism necessitated by the Lib
orators low belly"

Jops Claim 80 Carriers
And 81 Allied BottIeships
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
japanese war claims, invariabl,
highly colored for home consump
ton. reached the realm of the fan
tastlc today with an imperial head
quarters assertion that JapaneS,
naval forces had sunk or damaged
81 Allied battleships, 80 aircraft car.
rlerS and 148 cruisers since the be.
ginning of the war in the Pacific.
The assertion was coupled with E
morale-boosting prediction by Pre-.
mier Hideki TOTO that 1914 will be
our year to win tempered by g
warning that the war cannot be
won easily and an appeal to the
japanese people to be ready to en-
dure every hardship to attain vic
tory.
Is Battleships Claimed Sunk.
According to the japanese claims
the United States Navy-whose
strength has been much in evidence
in the Pacific recently-now is vir-
tually noneXistent. The Imperial
headquarters communique boasted
that these vessels had been sunk
outright:
Eighteen battleships. 27 aircraft
carriers, 80 cruisers, 70 destrovers.
lO7 submarines, 6 other warShips of
unidentified type" 4 special ships.
8 gunboats, 7 minesweepers. 25 tor
pedo boats and 81 other war vessels.
In addition, the communique listed
AS damaged l3 battleshipS, II air
craft carriers, Sc cruisers. At DESTROY
ers, 3 submarines, ships of un-
ldentlfed type, 2 special ships, 6
gunboats, l minesWeeper, 3 torpedo
boats and 26 minor war vessels,
On top of this claim the Japa-
nese piled the assertion that they
had sunk 688 Allied merchant YES
sells and damaged 1850. Allied plane
losses were put at 5,l56 aircraft.
Japs Minimize Own losses.
In accordance with their Gus
tomary practice of minimizing their
own casualties, the japanese gave
their own losses as follows:
Sunk-One battleship, 2 aircraft
carriers, cruisers, % deStroyerS,
IL submarines and special ships.
Damaged-One battleship and
two aircraft carriers, five destroy
ers and five submarines.
Ninety-six other japanese YES
sells have been lost, headquarters
said. but it did not identify them.
The announcement put japanese
air losses at 1908 planes-which it
said had "craSh-div on enemy
objectives."
American manpower losses in the
South Pacific were given by Toxic
AS $4,000 dead or wounded and
$4,000 captured-a figure gro
tesquely in excess of officially an
nounced American losses in all the
aters since the start of the war,
