Sky Kings Welcome Over Iwo Marines Triumph Parade
Nightly air wake glows with distant B 29s bound for Japan from Marne and Kons bases. Doomed fighters retreat as Superforts win Iwo, marines celebrate a cosy victory. At dawn, flight surgeons, tower staff, ambulance crews, and mess sergeants greet weary crews while Col. John G. Fowler heads Two base with Lt. Col. Max Fennell directing landings. Weather hampers operations as radar towers blink.
