Amplifying Report
from FJ Becton
Comments by Ari Phoutrides
An interesting report written
three days after the actual
attack when the memories were active and good.
This report confirms what I have always said whenever anyone asks me about the
CAP...
Initially, they were lured away and then returned. Their absence was the
basis for one of our
lookouts classic reply to my comments - after the lookout reported planes
overhead - of
"Thank god the CAP is back." His answer was "CAP, hell...
They're Japs!"
Fortunately, our CAP returned and helped save the day for us.
I love our Captain's last statement on Page 4.
I guess he earned the right to say this even though the report was going to CTF
51.
