Attock-ond Vengeance! The Story of Torpedo

dragged-out wailing feeling that
comes to all men when they know
they're going to get it and can't do
anything about it but wait those
seconds for it to come.
And the Jap cruiser command
seemed all unnerved, too. For the
three ships in line wheeled a stately
line to starboard, clinging in their
turn to that same foolish, fatal line
The vision of the last cruiser was
obscured by those ahead OF it and
that was the one that got all its
inSides torn out and was left gaped
open and f1oundering awkwardly in
the water like some disemboweled
fish.
The fire was very heavy on the
way out This was personal. This
was carrying on the vendetta begun
at Midway. The Japs ignored all
the dive-bombers and really went
cunning for the torpedo planes
This is something that happens all
the time. The enemy doesn't like
any part of us, but he seems now to
like toperdo planes least of all. We
have killed off more of his torpedo
planes than any other type in pro-
portion to number and, no doubt,
he is anxious to do the same. But
it is also something personal that
seems to exist in all Jap sailors for
our torpedo planes have killed off
proportionately more ships than any
other type plane.
So on the way out there was
plenty of heat and some one of Kirn S
bombing boys got all snarled
up in it, pulling out of his dive
alongside Swede and just a little
ahead of him. Swede had a good
view of the boys tail. 1t was
Evening star., 1943-04-29

So there was not much trouble along
the nerves about this being the sec
ond torpedo attack.
The target was located at GAS in
the morning, up there somewhere
between Bougainville and Choiseul.
The three cruisers were in a COL
umn, and the destroyers were
splayed out skittishly around them.
There were good clouds for Torpedo
to hide behind, but Swede de-
cided to play it cagey and not hide
at all and just 60 in slow and cas-
ual in a friendly way.
The torpedo planes held back. The
dive-bombers hit first. With the
cruisers steaming in line, Swede
maneuvered to come in on them on
the bow. That way they could turn
only to port or starboard to evade
the torpedoes, and either way they
turned they would be lined up
broadside for the attack.
The squadron came in straight.
They did not jink or corkscrew.
They hung in the sky like the side of
barn for any Jap gunners who
cared to fire. But the ruse was
working. The Japs concentrated on
the dive-bombers and decided the
torpedo planes were friendly, or
anyway would surely go into cloud
before launching their attack.
1t was very nervous going along
like that, wide-open for an attack. a
very probably dead pigeon any time
any trigger on any one OF the hun
dreds of guns down there was pulled
But SWede stuck to it, and the fe,-
lows stuck with him. floating along,
when Wham! the trigger was pulled,
and the whole sky boiled up and
thrashed and erupted under anti
aircraft fire.
Then Torpedo raced. They
were only 5000 yards away from
the ships by then. That was what
had given them away-the fact
that they had come so close and
still were coming. But at that dis
tance there were only Is seconds
to go before the torpedoes could be
launched and the Japs knew it. The
Japs are lightning calculators. too,
as good as we are at the arithmetic
Of death and seemed to know that
even If they killed off every plane
Of the squadron it was too late now
to stop the torpedoes from Drop
ping. They had waited too long
They had been tricked too we'll
and the arithmetic seemed to un-
nerve them. Their guns hit nothing
The gunners were concentrating on
thinking, too late, too late time
only for screaming now," and think
ing 1t no doubt with that high,

too. Then he stopped laughing.
But by that time they were out
Of the fire and in cool, tranquil air.
All the planes were out of the fire
and they all had good time riding
the breeze back home and think
ing what a picnic life is when there
is enough stuff on hand to do an
attack up right.

whumping right along, and, just be-
hind 1t, the antiaircraft fire was
bursting, 10 close to Swede he could
see the streaks OF blood -colored red
in the black smoke. The bursts
seem to give the dive-bomber's tail
extra whump and altogether that
boy seemed to be Logging it along
like dog running so fast he was
running his backbone wiggly. Swede
had to laugh. He laughed very hard
until he suddenly realized that if
this were happening to the dive
bomber it must be happening to him

Pays Tribute to Women

Arthur B. Langlie. Governor of
Washington, in a Message to Ma
tiqnal Business Women's Week,
says women are doing a magnifi-
cent job in many fields. His mes
sage follows:
"As never before in Americas
history, the women of our country
are playing a full part in winning
this total war We are waging
against the forces Of cruelty and
oppression. They are to be COM
mended and congratulated upon
their ability to see the opportunity
afforded them. and the manner in
which they are measuring up to
/ highest Interpretation OF the great
err freedom and equality which has
been accorded them by the United
States.
In the next few months, we are
told. nurses in the uniform OF their
country will be increased from
$4,000 to $1,000. WACS will ex-
pand in numbers from $4,000 to
10000 and dieticians and physical
therapy aides from $500 to $500.
But where thousands are serving
in uniform, millions of women are
doing their utmost on the home
front.

Civilians lake Hold

Here in America we pride our
selves on the way our civilians have
taken hold in the production bat
tie and particularly our women
Today there are II million women
in the labor force. They are max
ing guns. building ships, welding
aircraft bodies, mixing INT and
sewing parachutes. And without
so much fanfare they are tipping
the specifications, transcribing the
orders and keeping the books.
They are ironing sheets. cooking
potatoes, attending the telephone
switchboards. driving the street
cars, nursing the sick, and teaching
the young. For this is total war
on the fighting front, the produc.
tion front and the home front.
When the credits for victory are
recorded. women will receive a
large share.
