Aleutians-based bombers re turned without tho loss of plane from a long distance bomb ing of rarnmushiro, Japan's northernmost military base. The raid came as a logical develop ment after the American occupa tion of Attn and had long been expected and prepared for, with Japanese shipping being swept from tho northern seas by naval surface vessels. (The navy announced at Wash- Ington July 20 that Liberator heavy bombers bombed Para mushiro the previous day, start ing fires and scoring near hits on shipping. The flight was de scribed as a "formation," which mlclit havo been a dozen or so planes. It is 801 nautical miles from Anichllka, American base In the Aleutians, to Paramu shlro.) Easy Job The bombers were from the army's llth air force, whlrh has done the lion's share of all flying in the Aleutians the last year. Returning pilots reported the bombing was no more difficult than flights against Japanese bases on American Islands in the Aleutians. They came out of the overcast Into clear skies above Paramushiro and looked down on a square mile of mili tary Installations. They saw some Japanese planes but none which wanted to fight. Little Flak Only light anti-aircraft fire was met. Bombs were dropped near ships In the harbor. They saw what appeared to be an an cient fort, built long before bombers were ever made. The raid was made by veteran pilots who had been over Klska many times. Some led raids on Attn only a little more than a month ago during the American fight for that island.

No Special Equipment The men carried no special equipment except life rafts for possible forced landings, but all agreed the thing to do If they were downed was to try to rcacii Russian territory. The raiders were In the air more than nine hours, as they followed the weather map, sklrtflk Ing bad areas to the northern tip of tho Japanese Islands. They spent at least 40 minutes over the target, climbing and circling In preparation for drop, ping their bomb loads.
