A must read
Fading Victory gives long overdue credit to the Army Air Corps role in the victory in the SW Pacific, especially the 13th AAF's B-24 heavy bomber's attached to the 307th BG and 5th BG. Though misidentified as B-17 Bombers by the Japanese, the Christmas Eve 1942 destuction of Japanese held Wake Island, was actually conducted by the 307th BG's B-24's staging from Hawaii and refueling at Midway. The 307th and 5th BG's would go on to earn two Distinguished Unit Citations for their combat missions to Truk and Balikpapan, the Ploesti of the East. Their missions to Wake, Rabaul, Truk, Yap, Balikpapan, Tarakan and the Philippines should be known to all Americans. Coordinating their efforts with the U. S. Navy, Marines, Army, Seebees and our Allies, our Air Corps played a major role in choking off the source of Japanese fuel and lubricants in Borneo. There is a story (and movie) here to be told.
