U. S. 3RD FLEET BLASTS JAPAN
THE AIR STRIKE
Springing from decks of carriers in Task Force 38 a thousand dive bombers, torpedo planes and fighters add to Tokio’s destruction, further cripples Japan’s dwindling air forces, and ravages her industrial plants and transportation system. Bombs, rockets and heavy strafing create utter destruction and start terrific fires.
THE FLEET STRIKES
While steaming in battle formation a mere 3,000 yards off the Jap mainland, the giant 14in. and 16in. guns of Admiral Halsey’s dreadnoughts open fire on Japanese steel plants and other industrial sites.

JAPAN SURRENDERS
Japan goes down to crushing defeat, her dream of Empire and of world conquest completely shattered to bits.
America, her fleet badly crippled at Pearl Harbor, quickly geared her efforts to wage a war of offence in Europe, and a defensive leap-frog campaign in the vast Pacific.
Brilliant sea victories at Coral Sea and Bismarck Sea stalled the “Tokio Express” headed for a conquest of Australia. The victory at Midway saved Hawaii and other U.S. defense zones. After Bataan, a succession of island victories begins—Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Spectacular Kamikaze suicide defenses are futile.
Allied air fleets, co-ordinating with the other two military arms, begin strategic bombing of the Jap homeland, which starts the Japs reeling. Allied naval fleets boldly steam off Japan’s coastline; their carrier planes and naval guns create utter ruin and destruction.
From the Potsdam Conference, Japan is told to surrender, or else. The “or else” proves to be America’s prize secret weapon—the Atomic Bomb which levels war plant areas and kills thousands. Russia declares war and invades Manchuria. The combination of events proves too much for the enemy. Japan sues for peace. |

RADAR
(War’s end permits release of one of the top drawer secrets of modern times)
Radar is demonstrated to be a means of detecting invisible objects by means of electronic-echo waves being repelled by an alien object.
Coastal and base defences were able ot detect the approach of aircraft and to differentiate enemy from friendly planes. Bombers and scout planes could trace earth patterns electrically by means of radar, and carry out their missions accordingly. At mission’s end they could land in ‘ceiling zero weather’ by radar co-operation from control towers. Warships on convoy duty, distinguished enemy craft from Allied, thru the medium of radar.
All in all, radar became a sixth sense for our armed forces, enabling them to reach over horizons, through any atmospheric condition, and uncover the enemy in his concealed position. The technique of its operation is explained thoroughly in our chart and pictorial presentation.

NEWSREEL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1945 (UE45069)
THE BIG “E” COMES HOME
The big “E”, the aircraft carrier Enterprise, the fightingest ship in our Pacific fleets, comes home with a record so illustrious that she probably will be retired as a national symbol. She started fighting near Hawaii on Pearl Harbor Day, then earned 18 combat stars while fighting Japs all over the Pacific.
She is pictured as she was attacked by desperate Kamikaze pilots, this year. Although knocking many suicide pilots out of the sky, one bomb-laden maniac succeeds in getting through to smash into her stern. The explosion blows her forward elevator 400 feet skyward, kills 14 men and wounds 34. All fires are extinguished within 17 minutes and the wounded Enterprise wards off other attacking planes.
Small wonder that she is cheered to the echo as she slowly steams into port, the pride of the Navy and of the nation.

NEWSREEL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1945 (UE45070)
OCCUPATION OF JAPAN
Under the terms outlined by General MacArthur, the Allied forces of occupation move into Japan.
The powerful U. S. 3rd Fleet lifts anchor and steams into Tokio’s lower bay, where Jap pilots board our vessels to assure safe conduct through the enemy waters. Admiral Halsey on his flagship, the dreadnaught Missouri, welcomes Admiral Nimitz aboard.
From Okinawa, huge air transports, including the “Tokio Trolley,” bring the 11th Airborne Division to a landing at Atsugi Airfield, 18 miles from Tokio, Jap officers turn the field over to the Yanks, and the Stars and Stripes are raised over the enemy homeland. Jap soldiers become more bewildered as overjoyed Yank soldiers are freed from prison camps. The field made ready, General MacArthur arrives in his plane—the “Bataan.” Sporting his corn cob pipe, he is soon whisked away by car to Yokohama, where after driving through the ruined city he sets up headquarters at The Grand Hotel.
U. S. Marines land at Futtsu Saki and fleet units enter Yokosuka Bay to take the surrender of the huge naval base there, from strange looking Jap officers. In the harbor lies the shattered hulk of the 43,000 ton battleship Nagato—symbolic of the depths to which the Rising Sun has fallen. |
