or move into troubled Southeast
Asia quickly if needed.
The four planes left Tokyo at
4:31 a.m. (11:31 a.m. PST) Tues
day and landed here at 5:32 p.m.
local (11:32 a.m. PST) Wednes
day, an elapsed time of 12 hours
and one minute, an hour and
one minute more than the Air

roughly 400 miles per hour.

flight were:
Col. Harold M. McLelland of
Avon Park, Fla., deputy com
mander of the 49th Fighter -Bomber
group who commanded
the flight. He is a World War
