K BURNING JAP DESTROYER CIRCLES-OUT OF CONTRGL are taking off now from the Roi airstrip. Hellcats go after them. Yorktown fighters plaster the sea- plane base at Kwajalein. Ernie Snowden says something about a big tanker blowing up. Air combat sounds pretty hot over and around Roi, someone reports seeing one of our planes limp down towards a submarine we have stationed at a specific spot to pick up any of our airmen that are shot down. My throat gets drier and drier. Radio cross talk is now about the rendezvous for the trip back . . . they are homeward bound. Every man on the ship stationed where he can see the sky becomes a lookout, eyes are focused to where we expect returning planes. There is no betting today, this is a big time strikeg everybody has his hunches, some of these are grim. We get messages from damaged planes anticipating trouble in landing. We try to look into the sky spaces that are beyond the reach of eyesight. The seeming unconcern of a few of the junior officers on the bridge gets to be irritating. Maybe the boys in the crippled planes will bail out . . . that worked fine at Mille . . . the first planes will soon be here . . . I get busy with my camera. 74

fsgk X f I EXCITEMENT OVER PLANES BACK FROM THE STRIKE . -,xxx . R - It begins to look as if everybody on the ship had wangled up some reason Why he had to be topside at this time. The crew wants to get all Hthe dopew direct, and just as soon as the first plane lands, they scramble out of the gun galleries onto the flight deck and around the plane. The Captain sharply orders all unassigned personnel off the deck. VV ith damaged planes coming in, this crowding would be dangerous. Some ships make successful landings, others crash into the barriers. The deck crew clambers all over the planes looking for flak damage. There is a continuous, restless milling- around among the damaged ships. 76
