After Action Report Muster: BS, YT, ZZ Debrief: CVE action during the Guam landings. Bunkers, pillboxes, tanks, artillery, shipping in the harbor were all targets. Escort carriers were used to take out targets called for by Marines and Army forces ashore. They carried FM-2 Wildcats and Avengers for this duty. YT had no sound during the entire mission -- strange flying without that feedback. some elements of the mission were not working properly -- like some of the artillery and tanks were not firing. YTs game may be corrupted. This was ZZ 125th formal mission. Congratulations sir.

The full story of Saipan is a compelling one and is linked here . After Action Report Muster: BS, YT, ZZ Debrief: Trouble with this mission. No one but YT could fly a PBY. Both ZZ and BS exploded on spawn in --even when several spawn places were provided. ZZ graciously joined YT at gunner observer. In the heavy rain, high wind, and complete overcast we almost breezed by Iwo Jima but found it and made a low pass. Our discovery was the Air Group was gone. The Japanese had returned the air group to Japan after its sever mauling in late June. Flak was intense over the island and both engine were hit and two major fuel leaks forced us to ditch on the west side of the island. ZZ bailed out but YT moved to a gun and was KIA. Apparently one of the patrol boats spotted the injured PBY and finished it off. Both ZZ and YT manned Sallys to reconnoiter east of the island. Both wee unable to find their way back home in the soup. BS can in late after a date with his auto mechanic. He joined the game and had some issues getting the Ki23 airborne but stayed with us in game anyway. Tonight was his 400th squad night [at least] and a Centurian award will be issued. Late night was the 500th squad night in IL2 but the first 73 we did not take attendence. Rats! An unusual mission -- one designed for navigation in foul weather. Too bad it did not work out for everyone but there will be other opportunities.
