Robert Crosby
Had Shore In
Pacific Wdrfdre

That Robert Crosby, aviation
machinist's mate, second class,
USN, 1888 Grants Circle, Pasca-
goula, Miss, can claim a share
in one of the most outstanding
records OF the war while serving
with Fleet Air Wing One, has
been learned in a release by the
Navy.
The wings recorc shows that
it sent more than $4,000 tons
of Jap shipping to the bottom
with its Mariner, Coronado and
Privateer planes, damaged at
least that much more tonnage,
and shot down more than 40
enemy planes.
Units of the wing still were
%harassing the Japanese from
their base at Okinawa when
news Of the surrender was re-
ceived. 1t was at Okinawa that
the Japs made their most fran
tic effort to disrupt the opera
tons of the air wing, turning
loose an almost continuous stream
of suicide filters at its base there.
: The Nays records disclosed
that, from Korea to China and
Formosa-even to Japan, itself,
the air wing helped keep the
Japs in confusion, while other
Fleet units pounded the enemy
from Okinawa to Tokyo. Her
planes teamed up with Army
airmen to rain destruction on the
Jap homeland.
