Army LaH-Based Planes Raid Truk
PEARL HARBOR. March 17.(UP) A history-making attack by army iand-base<l Liberators on Truk was believed today to be the first of a series of concentrated blows aimed at complete destruction of the onetime Japanese mystery base in th.‘ mandated Carolines. Although Adm. Chester W. Nimitz’ communique did not reveal the base of operations, the big Liberators apparently flew from airfiei Is in .the M.iishalls, which have been in allied hands less than six weeks. The suit not only was the first land-bo d air attack on Truk, but also was the first time Maj. Oen. Willis H Hales, Seventh Air Force pilots were able to bring their full power ,'gainst a major enemy base. Previously, the Seventh's aircraft had been used in support of amphibious operations and attacking enemy ground positions, although they had taken part in helping to clear the path leading from Kwajalein in the Marshalls to Truk a span of 95i
miles.
For the past month that trail has blazed with activity with army, navy and marine fliers blasting continuously the intermediate islands of Oioiuk. Ponape and Kusaie, the outlyuv' Carolines' bastions protecting
Truk.
