Suicide Aitack on Bunker HiSI, U. S.
Carrier, Among War Experiences of
Marine First Lieut. Fred E. Origgs
YONTAN AIRFIELD, Okinawa (Delayed) Life has had some
odd moments for Marine First Lieutenant Fred E. Brings of Rose
burg, Ore., one of the survivors of the Jap suicide attack on the
aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill May 11.
The flattop's pilots, who were in the air when the ship was
knocked out by suicide planes, came here before reporting to a rear
base.
It was the first time Briggs had
been on Okinawa, but tut had
been over the island before. In
fact, he had his most exciting mo
ments on a raid here March 1, a
month before marines and sol
diers hits itt beaches. That day
he was on a bombing and straf
ing mission and destroyed two
Jap aircraft parked on this air
lield. But his plane was hit and
he had to bail out.
He was not injured by the ack
ack and floated easily into the
sea, where he was picked up by
a destroyer. A wing was shot off
his plane.
On the morning the Bunker
Hill was damaged, Briggs was in
a unit which had gone out on the
dawn patrol. When he returned
he saw the crippled ship, some of
its survivors bobbing around in
the water.
"We were angry, yet helpless
because the damage had been
done," he said. Pilots dropped life
rafts and dye markers around
survivors so that ships speeding
to the scene could rescue them.
Some circled overhead furnishing
protection in the event the ene
my attempted to return.
Briggs set his plane down on
another carrier for a night and
then flew with his squdron, the
"Fighting Falcons," to Yontan
airfield, one of the bases used by
the Second marine air wing.
Briggs is vhe son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. L. Briggs of Monmouth,
pre. His wife, Clarabelle, lives
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.

military service and had three
new men in the lineup. The
Olympians were playing without
the services of Hal Ayotte, who
Is in the hospital with a broken
ankle, resulting from a slide into
third base in Friday night's game.
Minor started on the mound
for Sutherlin, but retired after
the Supplymen pushed over seven
runs in the first two innings,
largely as the result of errors in
the field. Vang then took over
the pitching duties and allowed
only one additional tally. Suther
lin bunched hits in the third for
their lone marker.
Elks Trim Dunham's
The Elks took an 8 to 5 victory
from Dunham's as the result of a
five-run splurge in the first in

three tallies in the second, after
which Walton retired from the
mound- for the Elks and was re
placed by Amos, who held the
