A lifeguard destroyer has re-

cue agency we could provide north
of Iwo ...as the rescue SUb. which
",ill continue to function too.
Crews dLtched in Jap waters can now
have fighter protection until res-
cued.
The area between 1'11'0 and Japan
will be increasingly active with
both friendly vessels and aircraft,
greatly enhancing chances of sight_
ing am rescue. Further carrier
strikes against Honshu will be fre-
quent. XXI Bomber Comma~d crews
will be briefed on locations of
these friendly forces and how to
contact them if in distress.

NEW TYPE MISSION
A new type mission, underteken
first by the 314th Wing. was car-
ried out during the period. The
primary object was to obtain radar
scope photographs of Japanese tar·
gets. In addition to taking the
scope photos the B-29s bcmbed the
targets.
The first Radar Scope Photo
1Iiss ion was flown by the :314 th on
4. March. Target was the 8i tolN
Aircraft Plant at Nagoya. Eight
aircraft dropped 39 SOD-pro.nd Dps
and 24 SOO_pound IBs on the prilllU"1
target and on Yuda. SiX bombed by
radar and two viSually.
The second RSPlf was out the
following day agains t the VUsashino

tons by seven aircraft. Fifteen

No enemy aircraft were encount-
ered on the mission. Flak ran from
meager to intense, accurate to in-
accurate and was mostly barrage with
some continuously pointed and pre-
dicted fire.
No aircraft was lost to enemy
action or accident although one was
forced to ditch because of a fuel
leak. Nine survivors were rescued.
Thus, of 2,112 crewmen airborne for
the mission, only two were lost.
rour additional men were wounded
seriously and seven slightly. Six
aircraft suffered battle damage.

On the 6th two aircraft of the
