This should answer all your questions about having to ditch along the Mariana islands in the last few months of the war.

I got it from the Army Air Forces collection.

Thanks for this document, Syscom. Good charts of the islands, though I am going to check changes. Reefs change; bottoms silt. Its been a while now since the events that forced the writing of this document. Regards

Excellent! Thank you. The AAF and navy finally developed a fully integrated ASR capability with cross-pollination between the two at every level. Got down to navy guys in B-29s and army guys in submarines.
