Attack on Marcus Island Described by Carrier Correspondent
A U S carrier report details preparations for a Marcus Island assault in the Pacific. Young pilots, tense but calm, receive final orders to target ships and bases as engines start and planes take off for the impending strike.
Dawn of the Marcus Air Attack on the Island
The account follows a carrier group as planes launch in rapid succession, fly for nine hours, and return with vivid reports of torpedo and dive bombing successes. Pilots celebrate hits on gas storage, a radar station, and hangars while crews recount battles, endure anti aircraft fire, and await further orders amid the advancing dawn. The piece closes with the sense that the attack is winding down and time to depart has arrived.
