garrison on Okinawa, is attacked by Corsairs from the U.S.S.. Intrepid
(T.G. 58.4). Lt. Hal Jackson and a fellow pilot, both of VBF-10,
attempt to evade the deadly anti-aircraft fire from the sinking ship,

credited with shooting down 1 Japanese Betty Bomber and 3 Zeke Fighters,
besides dropping a bomb on the battleship Yamato on this mission.
