U.S. fliers destroy six Japanese planes
New Delhi, India (UP) –
U.S. fighter planes shot down six and probably destroyed 12 other planes of a strong Japanese bomber-fighter formation bent on attacking the Assam air base near the India-Burma border today. Not a single U.S. plane was lost.
The enemy force consisted of 30 planes, according to a preliminary report of the U.S. 10th Air Force. Several were damaged in addition to those destroyed.
The Japs dropped a few bombs that did no damage.
U.S. planes carrying light bombs attacked a 200-foot railroad bridge, 10 miles west of Myitkyina in north central Burma Tuesday, it was learned. Pilots reported that one span was completely wrecked and another left sagging.
