By Francis L. McCarthy
United Press War Correspondent
Northwestern Area, Southwest
Pacific July 8 IU.R) Liberator
bombers of a:r group X, com
mnnded by a 23-year-old lieuten
ant colonel and based somewhere
in the wilderness of northern
Australia, have destroyed more
than 82.000 tons of enemy ship
ping during the past 12 months,
official records of the group dis
closed today.
They have covered more than
3,500 000 mies of combat mis
sions and dropped nearly 7,500,-
000 pounds of bombs on their
targets.
Youthful Leader
Commander of the group is
Lt. Col. Forrest L. Brissey, 23,
Oakland. Cal, one of the young
est group commanders in the ar
my air force. Group "X" was or
ganized November 1942 in Tuc
son, Ariz., from a cadre of of
ficers and enlisted men and was
in action against the Japs five
months afteiward. Besides
Americans, the outfit now in
cludes English, Australian and
Dutch airmen.
Here is its record a bare 12
months later:
Sorties completed. 2074; hours
of combat flown 22.837; pounds
of bombs dropped on target,
7.460.590; miles flown overseas.
3,653.840; enemy aircraft de
stroyed in air 125. with 15 prob
ably destroyed and 31 destroyed
on the yround: enemy shipping
destroyed 82,150 tons: rounds of
ammunition exDended, 220,225.
Besides bombs dropped the
B-24s In April alone scatteicd
600.000 propaganda leaflets over
hostile territory.
Group "X" also is believed to
hold the long-distance mission
record for Allied planes under
B-29 size. They have made three
strikes igainst Bnlik-Papan in
Borneo, a round-trip distance of
approximately 2800 miles from
their base Their losses have av
eraged less than one per cent
for each sortie flown. An offi
cial tribute describing one mis
sion which destroyed 17 Nip
aircraft and damaged others on
the air strip at Kamlri Noem
foor island, lost April 24, said
the action "would have done
credit to a fighter squadron."
Besides their continual soften
ing up of the road back to Sin
gapore, squadrons from group
"X" have taken part in Gen.
Douglas MaeArthur's southwest
Pacific island offensives, partici
pating in the .nvasions of Arawe
and Cape Gloucester in New
Britain.
