area. During the mission, a total of 122 fighter attacks were made at the intrephl air crews of the 19th Bombarrlm
(General Ordcrs 124, Hztldquarters Twcntieth Air li'orce. 10 December lWS, ns approved by the Comlnnnder in Chief, United Spates .4rmy Forces, Pacific.) 9. The 39th Bo1,~bardnieat Group (VH) is cited for outstanding performance of duty in armed conflict with the enemy. In prcpnration for a ruaximuln effort bombing mission against the highly important Otake oil refincry and storage arca on the Japanese home island of IIansllu, the ground persorrnel worked with untiring rigor and exceptiurlal teehniral ability to bring their H-29 aircraft to 11eak operating efficiency. On 10 Mxy 1944 29 very heavy bombers of tile $gth Dombnrdment Group (VH), nssignd to lrnd the cntire wing on this vilal strike, took ofC from their base on Guam Owr more tlmn 1,500 miles of own sea, nndauntcd by Ule dangers of the flight and lllc atlxck against a hearilg defended priority targct in the heart of the mcmy mainland, they pressed an to tb? initial point. On the bomb run, approximately 43 aggressire figlller attacks were made on tile bombers, which were flyiw mittmat benefit of friendly escorl. Gallantly fighting off this fierce resistance, the gunners deutroyed or damaged 10 of the attacking aiqi1:rnes. Hostile eround iustnllati~ns hurled intense and the Inland Sea near ttie target, nddcd n shattering concentration of fink to the Savage fire of Lhe ground batteries. Dcspitc this fnnaticni deferst?, which crippled aircraft throughout the fonnntion, tlie determined crcms of the 3911~ Lfornbardmevt Croup (VIf) presscd on unswervingly to the objcctire. From :m nrcrazre altitude of 15,400 feet, they enscaded high explosive8 on tire oil retinery wit11 extreme accuracy. Erel~ sq~ladrun hammered the target wilil ciireci hits, achieving dewstating rcsults. On this bimha.drneut, one of the most successful ~lrrcisirm aLtx1;~ of the Pacific air war, a vital soui'ce of high octane Easolne for the Jagnnrse mar machine was rendered com]~ielelg inuperati\-e. The exceptional resolntiou and courage erlcibited by tile colubnt mews an this iiighiy inqwrtant strike against the enemy and the technical Mli and dcrotinn to duty of the ground perso~lnel combined 10 forln a bvillinllt cliallter in Lllc history of the armed ser~icea of the United Slntcs. Tlleir nctirms vcflrrt t~igtiest credit on the 39th Bombwdnient Gi'mp (VH) and the Anny Sir Forces.
