BLOODY DRIVES ON TWO IMA
and OKINAWA OPENED DOORS /
LEADING TO JAP MAINLAND
BY vERN HAUGLAND and MoRRIE LANDsBERc

American capture of OkinaWa
midway in 1945 fastened Japan's
ultimate defeat perhaps more di-
rectly than any other island cam
paign in the war. But in men,
ships, ammunition and time, it
was one of the costliest operations
The enemy, invaded on his very
doorstep, fought back savagcly
ashore and at sea in defense of
the 65-mile long key base of the
Ryukyus.
Committed to suicidal tactics,
Japan sent hundreds of planes
against the huge l200-ship inva-
sion force headed by veteran
Adm. Richmond Kelly Turner.
The desperate Japanese kept up
their bombing. torpcdoing, pi-
loted Baka bomb and Kamikaze
suicide attacks throughout the
long campaign.
u. S. Army Navy and Marine
casualties exceeded 10000. Near
ly 100 American vessels were
sunk or damaged. And nearly 80
days of fighting went by on the
rocky, malaria-riddcn island be-
fore Fleet Adm. Chester w. Nj
mitz could announce, ,"OkinaWa
is ours"
Enemy Losses Greater
The japanese lost lar more. A
total of 100000 Imperial troops
died; 10000 more were taken
prisoner. Planes of Vice Admiral
Marc A. MitScher's fast carrier
task force, of U. S. jeep carriers,
of the British Pacific Fleet lin its
combat debut, of Marine and
Army fighter units destroyed APP
proXimately 1000 aircraft. Jap
anese shipping suffered heavily.
The United States acquired the
largest of the 116 islands of the
Ryukyuan chain curving down
from within a few miles of
KyuShu, and the site of a mighty
air-naval base only 325 miles
from the eneruy's bomb-marked
homeland.
f Stnbbornly and bloodily, the
japanese yielded the gateway to
the East China Sea and free COM
munications with the China coast.
They saw their ''impregnable"
anchorages in the Inland Sea
turned into a graveyard of ship
ping. They quickly felt the con-
cussion from raids by hundreds
of Okinawa-based aircraft join
ing with B-29's.
Beachhead Won Easily
