Iwo Jima Bombers Hit Base in Intensive Campaign
American heavy bombers pounded Iwo Jima for the 21st straight day in a major neutralization effort. The small volcanic island 539 miles from Tokyo serves as a Japanese air base and staging point for Saipan raids. Despite intense antiaircraft fire, no American planes were lost, and officials noted the island’s continued operation and the difficulty of keeping it knocked out. In the Philippines Gen. MacArthur reported 23 Japanese planes attacked Mindoro with some damage. eight were shot down.
