342-FH-3A-42170-70296AC 45th fs p 71 mary beth 67 tom cat 463433 The new Premier of Japan was ushered in with a bang on 7 April 1945, when for the first time in World War II land based fighters escorted Boeing B-29's over Tokyo. Two hundred B-29's based in the Marianas, and a hundred North American P-51's pulled a one two over industrial Tokyo that brought twenty-one Jap planes tumbling down. Here, the pilots climb in their sleek Mustangs short¬ly before take off on one of the longest over water hops ever to be made by land based fighters. They took off at 7:00 A.M. from their 7th Air Force base on Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands, and, with the Superforts, were over the target at 11:00 A.M. 45th Fighter Squadron, 15th Fighter Group
