Reconnaissance Planes
From Surveying Damage
By the Associated Press.


GUAM, May 27 Sunday
Tokyo was described today by
the enemy radio as a city laid
in ruins by B-29 fire-bomb raids
Thursday and Saturday but the
21St Bomber Command, while
optimistic, reserved Judgment
until it had the photographs to
prove it.
A bomber command spokesman
limited his report, after reconnais-
sance planes visited Tokyo, to the
fact that monstrous wind whipped
fires had engulfed the government
and Imperial Palace areas hit by
1000 tons of fire bombs from 500
Super Fortresses yesterday.
Nineteen of the big bombers were
lost to unusually heavy antiaircraft
fire, making 81 lost in the two raids
this week. Unofficial reports listed
the destruction of 20 enemy inter-
ceptors Saturday. half of which may
have been "baka" or suicide rocket
bombs, each carrying one man.

A reconnaissance pilot, 1t. w. L.
Abbott, Des Moines, who few be-

over the area and could even see
flames, they were leaping so high
However, the weather was so ex-
ceptionally bad that it was impos-
sible to obtain the pictures on
which to base the only accurate
assessment of the damage.
Conflicting broadcasts from Japan
indicated the Imperial Palace had
suffered but there was confusion as
to the extent.
