Paramushiro Base Attacked By U S Planes In Two Raids
Washington reports two bombing raids on Paramushiro, a major Japanese naval base in the North Pacific. US planes from the Aleutians flew about 720 miles to strike the southern and northern parts of the island, encountering anti aircraft fire only in the first raid. All planes returned without damage, marking the seventh attack on Paramushiro since midsummer 1943 with mixed weather hampering observation in prior strikes.
