U.S. fliers bomb Japs at 30 feet in Burma
New Delhi, India (UP) – (Oct. 3)
American medium bombers, swooping down to within 30 feet of the Jap air base at Tingka, near the China-Burma border, destroyed one building with a direct hit and scored near misses on other installations, Brig. Gen. Clayton L. Bissel, commanding United States Army Air Forces in India, Burma and China, announced today.
The attack was made Sept. 27, by planes based in India. Natives and soldiers were working on runways, and a shower of high explosive and fragmentation bombs sent them flying.
On the way home, the bombers dropped to 100 feet and blasted tractors parked along railroad tracks at Katha, in northeast Burma, 135 miles from the Indian frontier. Another bomber attacked Jap barracks at Myitkyina, also in northwest Burma.
Fighters and bombers machine-gunned and dropped fragmentation and firebombs on Washawng and two adjoining villages in the Myitkyina area Sept. 28. The villages were left in flames. All the American planes returned.
