that year he went to the State

third biggest night raid of the war.
Forty-nine B29s from Okinawa

Red fighters to Slnuiju and Ulju
in extreme Northwestern Korea.
Fifteen bombed a big supply com
plex at Haeju, a marshaling yard
at Hamhung and Communist bat

Low-flying B26 bombers swept
over the targets ahead of thn
Superforts to knock out search
lights and antiaircraft guns. How
ever, searchlights from across the
Yalu River, in Communist Man
churia, fingered the dark skies.
Far East Air Forces reported the
Superforts aimed at the targets by
radar and results were not ob

out of there quick."
NIGHT FIGHTERS

at Antung, Manchuria, and at least
one cut loose at the superforts with

Korea and Manchuria.
The Superforts' greatest night

when 68 hit the Reds. The second
biggest was July 11-12, with 0$
