BY LIT. COL. THOMAS G.
LANPHIER, Jr.,

| united states Army Air Force.
AS we took of, laden with two
auxiliary gas tanks for the long
flight ahead, I glanced behind me
for the second element of my fight.
Joe Moore was taking off alone.
McLanahan had blown out tire on
the taxiway and would have to be
left behind. The remaining three of
us completed our circle of the field
and set out alongside Mitchell on
the first leg of the course out to sea.
Not two minutes later as we all
switched to our auxiliary belly tanks,
Joe Moore pulled up alongside me
and made detected gestures, indi-
eating that his belly tanks were not
feeding into his engine properly.
That meant that he, too, would
have to miss the mission. He could
not possibly get to the target and
back with what fuel he had in his
regular tank.
Having lost half my section, I slid
over next to Mitchell and wig
wagged to him. He waved his second
element, consisting of 1t. Besby T.
Holmes and 1t. Raymond K. Hine,
over to join me. I had never flown
with either pilot, but knew they both
had flown long and we'll with Mitch
ell, and welcomed their expert
enced assistance.
Radios Silent.
Out OF sight of land most of the
time, hugging the water all the way,
and maintaining absolute radio
silence throughout, we sped along
beneath the blazing, midmorning
Pacific sun for two hours, following
Mitchell's slightest turn or change
in altitude.
AS we neared the south shore of
Bougainville and began our climb
out of the spray of the surf toward
our allotted attitudes. I glanced at
my dash board clock. 1t was 0933
(9:33 ann.
In minute or so we would be in
place, The rest would be up to the
other party to our rendezvous,
Admiral Yamamoto.
Straining our eyes westward to-
"oid TedUduI, cdCI Ol US worried
over the same question. Would the
Jap be on time?
Within the next 80 seconds we
had our answer. 1t came when
Doug Canning, in Mitchells section.
broke the silence we had been re-
serving for just what he then quietly
said: "Bogey. Ten O'Clock, high"
We were then about a thousand
feet above the shore line. I looked
up into the air to my left and
slightly ahead of me for the target
Doug had called out.
Spots Enemy.
Focusing intently, I saw two
enemy bombers escorted by six
Zeros. Just as the cablegram from
Washington had promised, here
came Isoroku Yamamoto and his
gang, accompanied by exactly six
Ieros, at 0935 on the morning OF
April 18, 1943.
I turned right and began to climb
parallel to the course of the enemy
formation, keeping up as much
speed as my wide-open engines
could give me in order to stay In

CHINA RELIEF

Relief of existing widespread dis
tress in China due to acute shortages
of cloth and clothing will shortly be
accomplished by shipping American
garments to China by air, according
to information received today by Mr.
Walter S. Rowe from the National
War Fund.
Through cooperation Of U. S. Gov
ernment agencies, arrangements have
just been completed to assign to Unit
ed China Relief, War Fund member
agency, shipping space "over the
hump" from Burma into China, the
report stated.
The initial shipment of 100000
pounds of clothing is now under way
to Calcutta where it will be flown to
Running and Chungking, marking
the first time since the Japanese es-
tablished the China blockade that such
materials have been sent to China in
any appreciable quantity, the report
added.
Work of United China Relief is
financed in part by the National War
Fund through contributions to COM
munty war funds, such as Mr.. Rowe
explained.
