Tentacles of Flame Reach Up For Jap Raiders
Japanese night raiders, stabbing at American invasion forces near Garapan, capital city of the Marianas, are met by hot fire from anti-aircraft batteries. Like giant skyrockets, the Yankee fire pierced the sky and appropriately it happened on a July night - close to the historic fourth.
