An account of American Liberator bombers from the Fifth Air Force striking Balikpapan on Borneo, targets at Pandansari refinery and related facilities, detailing long 2700 mile missions, pin point bombing, heavy loads, and the Jolly Rogers air unit’s role in the operation.
The Jolly Roger force prepares two days of maintenance to ensure flawless Lib engines and bombsights. Pilots, technicians, and line crews endure 15 hours under tropical sun as the heavy bombers take off at midnight for the Balikpapan run. They face heavy flak and 30 to 40 Zeke interceptors, but the formation stays tight and claims 16 Japanese planes shot down before the long return. The mission, described by Liberator commander Les Crawford, is hailed as the best the unit has flown and a decisive blow against Japanese empire.
