Bombers Hit Tokyo Factory District in April Raid

United States air corps planes bombed Tokyo on April 18 catching defenders off guard. The raid targeted war industry centers, causing moderate damage and fires, while a plane over the imperial palace drew antiaircraft fire. Reports describe political crisis and a palace apology by Tojo. The piece also notes concurrent submarine actions and Roosevelt’s appeal delays, with remarks from Ambassador Grew and related wartime events.

Sailors Return From Action With British Fleet

United States Navy men on leave from the American task force with the British fleet report they engaged German planes for about 45 minutes and shot down three or four. James McCleery of Watertown Conn said the sailors were eager for action and welcomed their first fight. Hundreds arrived on their first leave in months amid the usual cautionary notes and social rules. A separate item notes bridge nationals set for New York August 3 to 9, after 123 years at Asbury Park, and Chicago Blackhawks defenseman John Martucci plans to enter the Army Air Corps in the fall.
