and had to be treated later for
coral bruises. No one was
killed.
More Exciting
The noon raid, with Japanese
planes darting about close over
head, was much more exciting.
One Japanese plane broke into
flames about 100 feet above the
ground and skimmed the beach
so low that its heat painfully
burned some men in fox holes.
The plane crashed into the sea.
Just before another plane
struck an unoccupied open rca,
its pilot bailed out. He drew a
gun as soon as he landed and
started shooting. A negro ma
rine killed him with a carbine.
Bail Out
Another enemy pilot bailed
out over Tinian as his riddled
plane went into a spin. One
Japanese plane thundered to
earth within a mile of this
camp. The pilot's body was in
tact in the plane, except for
the right arm which lay 200
feet away. All of his clothes
were burned off and the pilot
slowly roasted in the fiercely
burning plane in full view of
scores of Americans.
About half a mile beyond
that another enemy plane
hurtled to earth without injur
ing any Americans and almost
disintegrated.

Strictly a Fighter
Foss is strictly a fighter pilot
at heart, though, and declares
that he didn't care for dive
bombing ut nil. It was too
methodical. However, his squad
ron got "a lot of flying and
bombing practice, and got pretty
good at it." Practice was about
