Panay sunk by Japanese on Yangtse River
The Japanese aviation units strafed and sank the US gunboat Panay on the Yangtse above Nanking. A storekeeper and an Italian journalist were killed. Japanese forces also sank three Standard Oil steamers as British gunboats moved to aid. Protests flowed from Washington and London, with Tokyo apologizing and recalling Admiral Mitsunami. Survivors described a low flying attack, contradicting Japanese excuses of poor visibility. President Roosevelt urged full apology, compensation, and safeguards against repeats.
