Marianas Bases Assist Yanks In Mastering Japs In Air
The article argues that American bases in the Marianas have accelerated Japan's defeat in the Pacific air war. It notes Japan's shrinking force from 2,500 bombers and 2,000 fighters nine months earlier to current totals near 1,800 bombers and 1,400 fighters, with heavy losses and dwindling strength in the Philippines. It cites Iwo Jima and Okinawa as key fighter bases enhancing B 29 raids and predicts continued impact from Marianas, plus future amplification when Okinawa joins the fight.
