In a three-day fight that saw B-52s target an IJN convoy of transports and destroyers, the Japanese suffered 75 percent casualties. his volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing combined with a strafing B-25, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants, the results of the attacks, and the reason why these USAAF tactics were so successful."
