These are the original, never-before-published notes penned in 1944
and 1945 by B-29 pilot 1st Lt. Philip D. Webster concerning the 35
missions he flew from Saipan to Tokyo during WWII. Two-time
recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, every mission is
described in detail -- the fighters they had to contend with, the
hits they took and how many; the planes they shot down; the flak
that was encountered and the damage it caused. Lt. Webster wrote
about weather conditions and anything he thought the intelligence
people would want to know about in a debriefing meeting upon
landing. These notes were stored undisturbed in Phil's original,
Army-issue briefcase for over 61 years -- from the time they were
written until August, 2005, when the briefcase was finally opened.
All major incidents are true and can be backed up by documentation.
