A Short Story; My Dad's First Month in Combat!

Putting myself in my father's shoes, his first month
in combat during WW2 should read something
like this....


Thanks for sharing it. General Kenney fought hard to get B-29s for that
mission.


Thanks for reading. Some fighter escorts would have been
nice. But I was surprised to read the AA seemed more of
a problem than the jap fighters. There were several reports
the jap fighter pilots looked inexperienced and very poor
marksman.
