Swett blasted seven Japanese bombers out of the skies over the Solomons last Wednesday, Wednes-day, scoring what was believed to be a record bag by an American fighter pilot in any single action of the entire war. Official records made Swett the ace of the greatest aerial battle by la&d-based planes in the South Pacific, in which outnumbered United States Marines and Army fighters routed more than 100 Japanese Jap-anese -dive bombers and Zero fighters. Swett, piloting a Grumman Wildcat, tore ino a formation of 15 Japanese bombers over Tulagi, sent seven down in a furious battle, bat-tle, and pumped his last burst of ammunition into the eighth. His guns empty, his windshield smashed, cooling system punctured, punctur-ed, himself wounded in the face, the Marine ace glided to an easy landing qn the water, from which he was rescued and sent to a hospital. hos-pital. Swett's performance paced the American air fleet which destroyed destroy-ed at least 39 Japanese planes and lost only seven. Six pilots of the downed American planes were rescued.

(Continued from Page One) details of the American operations a secret for more than a year; This was why President Roosevelt referred to the raid base as "Shangri-La," a mythical place. "As long as this secrecy could be maintained," the war department depart-ment pointed out, "the Japanese were obliged to set up defenses against a number of possibilities. They could not be sure whether the planes had come from China, or an aircraft carrier, or some stepping stone in the north Pacific. Pa-cific. They did not know when the attack might be repeated. Thus, the Japanese were forced to tie up part of " their military strength during crucial months." Months ago the Japanese claimed to know the secret of Shangri-La. They named the Hornet. They had already had their revenge on that gallant ship, sending her to the bottom in the battle of Santa Cruz on Oct. 26, 1942. Had fate been more kindly, the aftermath of the raid might have been a happier one. But almost from the start, hard luck intervened. inter-vened. After evading two enemy patrol vessels, the Hornet rain in-4 to a third. This was 800 miles off Tokyo. The take-off had been planned at a point about 400 miles from the enemy capital. It was to have been just before dark, so that the attack could be carried out at night and the planes could continue on to land at specified Chinese airfields in the morning. But fear that the third patrol vessel, which was sunk, might have radioed a warning caused the immediate launching' of the planes 20 hours ahead of schedule. sched-ule. Planes Fly Low What happened over Japan has already been told by Doolittle himself. The planes flew in so low 15 or 20 feet above sea level, ---that they were almost skim- Lming the wave tops. Then they tanned out, each plane with specific speci-fic objectives one a tank factory, fac-tory, another a shipyard, still another an-other a steel plant. One by one, each objective was checked off. There were powder factories, machinery ma-chinery works, railroad yards, docks, arsenals and oil refineries. Just for good measure, bombs were dropped square on a new cruiser or battleship under construction. con-struction. There was anti-aircraft fire, some heavy,, but no real damage was done. And there were at least 30 pursuit pkuies Suit but they couldn't lay a finger on the hedge-hopping Americans.

But some less fortunate landed in occupied China. This led to the capture of eight. Others managed man-aged to make their way out of enemy territory with the aid of friendly Chinese who hid several of them for long periods. The only known dead was Leland D. Faktor, of Plymoutn, la., who made a getaway in his parachute but may have been killed by a fall after landing in mountainous territory. His body was found later.

After bombing- Tokyo, his plane had so little gas left, he headed for Siberia and landed 40 miles north of Vladivostok. The ship and crew were interned by the .Russians. One of the planes piloted by Lieut. Ted W. Lawson of Los Angeles, An-geles, Calif., crashed in the China sea within three miles of Japanese forces. Cpt. David J.

Bond booths were set up for the day at the tabernacle grounds and in several downtown stores. The women's sales were hampered because the promised war stamp corsages failed to show up. Since the tour started last Thursday, the war caravan has been ' responsible for sale of $3,-000,000 $3,-000,000 in bonds, according to Corp, Kusner. "On this trip I have found a genuine spirit of pariotism that is heartening indeed," in-deed," said Corp. Kusner. "Fath ers, mothers, children everybody wants to help.' The caravan arrived in Provo Tuesday night, and were housed at the Provo Armory and at the NYA school. The Red Cross can teen corps did a magnificent job in preparing breakfast and dinner for the soldiers, according to the local committee. Provo firemen put. up the flags downtown in observance ob-servance of the occasion. The caravan left early in the afternoon" for an appearance at Pleasant Grove.
