lone last load heavy earth movers,
came and went unmolested through
the day along with fighters and
bombers.
Before heavy machinery arrived
more than $500 Filipinos volun-
teered to lay the ground work for
the fields and toiled for weeks with
only their meals as pay.
Because they hate the Japanese
their real compensation came when
gun-studded, bomb-toting Yankee
fighting planes swooped into the
fields they had captured and i'm
proved. The cry of victory was on
the lips OF men and women and the
tiniest toddlers.
When the last large body of enemy
troops fled this section only 200 of
about 300 survived the bamboo
spears, bolos and carbines of the
harassing, pursuing guerrillas whose
firearms had been parachuted down
to them from Yankee planes.
Leap Frog Pattern.
We were accompanied here by
Brig. Gen. David w. Hutchinson of
Madison, Wis, commander of the
308th Bomber Group which OPP
crates as an air task force. For
more than two years now Gen.
Hutchison and his men have fol-
lowed the same leap frog pattern
of attack all the way from the
jungles of the Southwest Pacific.
Our pilot is Col. John r. Alison, a
veteran of the air-borne landing
behind Jap lines in Burma, who
was among American fighter pilots
taken over from the AVG unit in
China.
The plan of the air commando
attack developed by hard bitter
experience as to keep one jump
ahead of the home base, always
hitting the enemy first in his front
and his rear and moving up again
at the first opportunity. Experts
say the Jap never quite has time
to get back on balance in the face
of such tactics.
The field has another function.

with two engines shot out, made a

.Kyushu AirfieIds Hit
Twice in 7 Days in
Super Fort Raids
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GUAM, Sunday, April 22.-One
hundred to one hundred and fifty
Super Fortresses usually bombed
airfields on Kyushu, southernmost of
the japanese home islands, this
morning.
Five airfields were the targets.
1t was the second BIG raid on
Kyushu in "a hours, the fourth in
six days and the seventh since
March q, when B-29s began their
series of neutralizing attacks on The
islands airdromes.
Two hundred to 300 Super Forts
attacked nine Kyushu airfields yes
terday.
Although there is every indication
that the airfields have been we'll
neutralized in the previous three
raids-the Japanese have sent no
aerial attacks in any strength
against the American Okinawa force
since April l6-the 21st Bomber
Command apparently has decided to
take no chances on the enemy max
ing quick repairs to it's runways and
other installations.
No Fighter Opposition.
B-29 crews reported encountering
no fighter opposition as they made
runs on the five airfields. Two
fields, Tomitakanaj and Miyazaki on
the eastern coast, were attacked for
the first time
Bomblngs were made from med
ium altitude, probably 10000 feet
Crews returning from yesterdays
mission said they had encountered
little enemy opposition in their
strikes on any of the nine airflelds
attacked, although about 100 fight
ers were sighted. Only a few pressed
an attack.
All B-29s returned safely from
yesterdays raids.
BOmbers Split-up.
Headquarters did not issue any
report on the extent of damage.
Flying from Marianas bases yes
terday, the giant bombers split into
nine separate flights over Kyushu to
hit the fields. They struck Kanoya
and Kushira fields, two of the most
important in Japan, and also at
tackled the bases at Nittagahara,
Kanoya East. Izumi, Kokobu, Ia
chiarai, USa and Oita.
Kanoya also is a naval base. The
field there has 5,500foot concrete
runways and elaborate installations
Oita. guardian at the southern door,
way to the inland sea, has 5000
and 5000 foot runWays and a sea-
plane base. Nittagahara is a major
plane storage, maintenance and re-
pair depot.

pilots function as a Self-contalned
unit, usually from an area so far
forward it would've been untenable
in an orthodox war.
Although the field is still an out
law officially the Japs know it well
and the Wreckage of their bombers
and fighters filters the vicinity. They
use Jap wings and chopped-off tails
as signboards. The area is streWn
with mute evidence that the back
bone of japanese airpoWer was
broken IN these islands.
Correspondents visiting Pacific
areas as guests of the Air Transport
Command of the Army Air Forces
were flown in here in planes which
skirt the hostile coast just beyond
ack-ack range From time to time
the Japs try to sneak aircraft into
their fields near here under cover
of darkness.
Overnight they build nipa huts
over them or haul them into forests
far from the landing area. But
the strafers ferret them out, blow
them up or block their runways with
a regularity which has become
routine.
We landed here is a cloud of dust
turned up by scores of propellers
amid bulldozers, giant Scrapni trac-
tors and rollers preparing new run

safe landing and in the first three
weeks Of operation dozen crippled
fighters and bombers have found
haven here.
One of the first fighter pilots to
arrive here, 1t. j. E. Curdes, 26, Of
Fort Wayne. Ind, had the weird
experience of shooting down one
Of our own transports and receiving
credit for it along with his seven
Nazi, one Italian and one Japa-
nese kills In combat.
Shoots Down a Transport.
The young ace was striking at the
Island of Batan, almost to Formosa,
two weeks ago with several other
fighter pilots when one of the latter
was shot down in the ocean.
1t. Curdes and two others were
circling the ditched flyer on his raft
when they saw transport with air
force markings come in from the
south. let his flaps down and come
in for a landing on a Japanese
fighter strip. The lieutenant thought
fast. The transport might be a
camouflaged Jap, or lost friend
In either case It. Curdes figured he
should be shot into the water be-
fore he landed. The sharpshooter
knocked out both engines and the

transport ditched off the coast
within so yards of the fighter pilot
in his raft.
1t. Curdes, who had radioed for
help, was undecided at first whether
to strafe the transports. passengers
as they emerged. He knew if they
were japanese they would capture
his flying mate. When the Amer
leans broke out a yellow rubber raft
he was satisfied and held his fire.
Drifted All Night.
All night the pilot and transport
passengers drifted in their RATS
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-04-22

and dawn found them half a mile
off the hostile coast just as a fighter
escorted dumbo landed beside them
The transport contained two
women, both flight nurses, and six
men. The pilot had been bound from
Leyte to Southern Luzon when he
got off course and overshot his mark
so far his gasoline was running out.
They still don't know, said a vet
eran of jungle warfare against the
Japs, how lucky they were not to
get captured.
