17; 19th Gp. Operations Record; Summary
of Activities, 10 Dec. 1941, 1430 which
records “Discussion of situation by Staff:
In view of the fact that Paratroops have
been landed in many places in the islands,
General Brereton is of the opinion that
it is highly dangerous to allow Bombard-
ment to remain in this vicinity after
dark.” Under 11 Dec. 1941, 0030, appears
“Telephonic orders to move all B-17’s
southward prior to daybreak and execute
dawn attack on targets in Linguayan
Port.” (See also 1 1 Dec. 1941, 1009.)
71. History, 24th Pursuit Gp.; Obert
statement; Sheppard and Gilmore state-
ment; combat reports of Capt. William
M. Rowe, in A-2 Library. Operations of
the Japanese Navy in the Invasion of the
Philippines indicates that thirty-four
fighters and twenty-seven bombers were
sent against Nielson, Nichols, and Camp
Murphy, twenty-seven bombers against
Cavite and the same number against
shipping at Manila, and eighteen fighters
against Del Carmen. Japanese pilots
claimed fifty planes shot down and
fifty-three heavily damaged or burned.
71. Memo for CIS by Acting AC/S,
G-2, 10 Dec. 1942.
73. It should be added that prior to
the attack on Cavite, American pursuits
had intercepted another formation of
Jap planes over central Luzon and shot
two down, and that later on Filipino
pilots flew their obsolete P-26’s against
an enemy formation. (Sheppard and

Doc. 30a, App. FI. A few days after the
war began, one P-40 was dispatched to

naissance plane for General Sharp, in com-
mand on that island. On 4 January, nine
P-40’s left Bataan for Del Monte. Five
of these planes arrived; and about a week
later two P-35’s arrived. (Obert state-
