URING our first three weeks at sea UN forces smashed past Pyongyang., the Red Capital, and landed at Wonsan and Iwon to begin the conquest of North East Korea. Our planes flew close support missions for our troops and put every rail and bus line in N. E. Korea in the red for decades to come by slashing attacks on transportation centers such as Songjin and Chongjin. Toward the end of October, the Yalu and the end seemed in sight. With good targets as scarce as nickel hot-dogs, we returned to Sasebo.
