U. S. VICTORY AT TRUK
The U.S. Navy makes history as a huge task force assembles to attack the highly publicized "impregnable fortress of Truk." Planes zoom from expansive carrier decks, and before long, Truk is observed, stretched out below like a diagram on a drafting table.
Cocky Jap interceptors bear in for the attack--and they are blown out of the skies, by uncanny machine gun fire, and clouds of rising anti-aircraft fire. Then our planes dive on acres of grounded Jap planes and riddle them to Kingdom Come. They dive on oil tanks and spew lead streams into them, until they burst into flames.
In the harbor, freighters are split in two and destroyers are destroyed, as the craft are zealously strafed and bombed.
Back on a carrier, we watch two damaged U.S. Navy planes land--one comes in on one wheel, and from the other, a seriously wounded pilot is carried away.
Over 200 Jap planes are destroyed, forty vessels are sunk or badly damaged, and Truk is proved vulnerable to superior American equipment and men. What a "sweet day" for the U.S. Navy.
