WW II Suicide Bomber Letter from Battle of Okinawa May 4
(Suicide bombers were prevalent in World War II although in much different form than in today's Mid East. The following is an exact transcript of a letter written from the sea battle off Okinawa from Naval Gunnery Officer Lawrence Warneke to his mother and father in White City, Kansas. I found this in a stack of letters at a flea market including some from Warneke's time after the war as a government official on the South Pacific island of Yap. I paid $3.00 for the letters and did not see the suicide bomber letter until later what I saw was Warneke's jungle letter from the Island of Yap and I wanted to compare jungle stories. What is interesting to note is how many hundreds of times this battle scenario and others like it were played out in the Battle of the Pacific. This incident caught my attention because of Warneke's articulateness, accuracy, vantage point and the fact the letter was written during the battle period to his parents. I would especially like to thank Warneke himself and doubt he would ever have imagined his letter would later be posted on Internet for all the world to see. Also see the prior two posts regarding Ungrateful Americans. Jack D. Deal)
We arrived in San Diego on the 30th of April and now are undergoing a short yard period. We will probably leave again on the 14th of this month so once more there isn't enough time to get much leave. We are getting the usual five days. That isn't much but it helps.
Julia was here when we got in and we are now living in Coronado. I am taking the second leave so don't get ashore much this week (every other day.) We have so much to do on the ship it makes pretty long days when you only have half of the ship's company aboard. We had a little action while on this trip and you will probably want to hear about it so I will start from the beginning of the cruise.
We left Pearl Harbor with 65 Marine pilots and planes who were to be land based at Okinawa as soon as an airfield was taken. The ground forces were expected to take a certain field 5 days after they landed at which time we were to be stationed 90 miles from this field so we could send planes in.
We arrived in Ulthia two days before the strike so expected to lay around for five days. The landing forces surprised everyone by taking the field intact the first day so naturally they began yelling for the planes. Here we were three days travel time from there and they needed the planes now. We oiled as soon as we could and left for the area. Just before we got there we received orders not to come in but to reverse our course as the area where we were to launch our planes in was infested with Jap planes. Also, the island was under constant attack.
For a day and a half we stayed clear but finally we received word the area had cleared somewhat. We steamed in to about 60 miles. With us was two destroyers and another carrier. About 1300 we started launching planes. All the time some of us were listening to the play by play account of the battle, just 40 to 60 miles away. For one hour I listened and heard the Navy splash 28 planes.
Several times we went to our battle stations because Radar kept picking up Jap planes which would close in to about 20 miles and then go out again.
At about 1500 we had just five planes left to launch when we went to our battle stations again. Radar had picked up two planes at about 25 miles on our port bow. They were tracked at that range around to the port quarter. One plane went on aft and Radar lost him at 50 miles but the other stayed at about 25 miles. We were about to secure from our stations when we received word he now had closed to 20 miles. Some of the planes we had launched were still flying around so we directed them to investigate. By this time he had closed to 11 miles and we could see it by eye but weren't sure what it was, friend or foe.
At five miles (coming in from the port quarter) we knew it was a Jap because he was heading for us, altitude about 1000 feet speed 420. At about three miles from the ship our own planes winged over and headed for him. We wanted to open fire but hesitated because our own planes were in the line of fire. When he reached two miles from the ship we knew we had to open up or he would get us. Our planes had hit one of his engines and it was smoking but it didn't slow him up any. When we opened up he was on the beam altitude about 80 feet speed about 450. All our guns on the port side put lead right in his nose (we were also clipping our own planes but they soon got out of the line of fire) but he kept coming on in headed for the bridge. At 500 yards we saw his whole forward section catch afire and at one hundred yards he blew up with a terrific explosion. People inside the ship thought we were hit. When the plane exploded cheers went up from the crew as if someone had scored a touchdown in football.
We now have seen a suicide plane and know they are very determined to get what they are after. No one cares to see any more. Several pieces of the wreckage hit the ship but no damage was done,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors femmes[/url].
One hundred yards on land seems like quite a distance but on the sea you just don't get that close to each other then to something coming at you in excess of 400 miles per hour covers that distance in the flick of an eyelash.
My station is gunnery control officer on the Bridge so I could see it all. I always thought I would get very nervous but never at any time did I ever think of it. When he blew up I noticed how calm I had been in directing the fire and my hands were not shaking a bit. Everyone around me had no color in their faces, maybe I didn't either I don't know.
When the plane was real close I did get behind the shield in gunnery control which comes to my shoulder and ducked so that only my eyes were exposed, helmet covering my head. The reason was that I expected him to open up with his machine guns. He did but they went wild.
I hope I have made this clear so you can understand it. There are a lot incidents I failed to see as others saw it but as a whole there wasn't much I missed.

Charlie McCarthy and Howdy Doody: 20th Century Cultural Icons The other week at a collectibles show I bought a Charlie McCarthy toy puppet and actually confused him with Howdy Doody. The guy standing beside me thought Charlie McCarthy was Howdy Doody too. Subsequent viewers of my puppet have also made the same mistake and I didn't find out until I checked him out on Ebay. Some newer viewers think Charlie is from a recent horror flick that was, as they say, very scary. I guess it's not unusual for two people you know to die at the same time. It happens and it happened to me the other day. The first was Dr. Jefferson. I knew him when I worked in the local hospital as a Grief Counselor and Pastoral Care Coordinator. I worked critical care and the emergency room. Dr. J was arrogant, wealthy and somehow oblivious to all the death he dealt with every day. Not that he wasn't a good doctor; I suppose in terms of skills he was a.

recently, Gushan often in the evening to dawn, the ozone concentration change radically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some people question, the recent Fuzhou sunshine is not strong, why Gushan ozone will be so high? Experts said, the formation of ozone related to light and automobile exhaust, but the specific mechanism, is still under further study. Environmental experts believe that the strong sunlight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], strong ultraviolet radiation is the trigger condition of ozone pollution,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the fundamental reason is the precursor of ozone exceed the standard pollutant emissions from human activities. The pollution source is very complex, involving thousands of species and in many industries, including automobile exhaust is an important source of. Experts say, ozone concentrations exceed the standard, there are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, also have effect on lung function.
Fuzhou City Environmental Protection Bureau data show: Once upon a time when the late 6, Gushan monitoring points of AQI index broke through 100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reached the light pollution, reached the highest value of 197 in the evening 11 when, to moderate pollution, severe pollution approximation. This is the recent relatively rare phenomenon. Began to decline, from the early morning yesterday during the day yesterday, Gushan monitoring points of the AQI volatility index in 100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most of the time to reach the air standard class two good.
Gushan ozone pollution value, the recent rare
however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent Gushan in the daytime, the air quality is generally meet the standard grade two good, little impact on the day the citizens. But if the public after work to go on, can look on air quality.
Gushan daytime air more standard, on the public have little effect on
environmental protection experts, the formation mechanism of ozone is inconclusive, exhaust emissions are a source of. Experts think, Gushan daytime air more standard, has little effect on the mountain people, but if the recent public after work to go on, can look on air quality.
reporter learned yesterday, is still the primary pollutant, ozone Gushan monitoring points. Among them, before 11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 8 hour ozone concentration limit reached the peak,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 0.252 mg / m3. According to the relevant regulations of our country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the living environment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ozone concentration over 0.1 mg / m3 will constitute pollution; in the workplace, ozone concentrations above 0.2 mg / m3 will constitute pollution.
Strait Metropolis Daily April 11th hearing (reporter Chen Wenhao) the day before yesterday evening, Fuzhou Gushan monitoring points (Gushan Scenic Area Administration 4 storey office building, Gushan Yongquan temple near the mountain) of the air quality index (AQI) was close to 200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to moderate pollution. But to the day yesterday, Gushan monitoring points of AQI index fell back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but still the fluctuations in the 100, the primary pollutants are ozone.

for thousands of years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most can only be used for rope and woven sacks of hemp fiber materials, now led by Zhou Guotai, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and Professor Ji Yingchao's research team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has turned it into a cotton fiber, become the new garment materials of civil military integration, wide application prospect and the best uniform clothing. Recently this advanced technology in Beijing by authoritative identification, experts say that the achievements in the international leading level.
the hemp material has excellent anti disaster ability,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], can grow well in saline alkali land, barren land,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], raw materials and extensive cultivation, convenient management, especially in the area of arable land in China Co., the current annual cotton and grain demand exist big gap situation, flax planting not with grain and cotton for land, and to adjust and optimize the industrial structure, and to cultivate new growth point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so its economy, national defense and social benefit is very considerable.
Ma is a traditional crop is very common, has a long history of cultivation. For a long time, in the research field of hemp fiber degumming technology has been a worldwide problem. Because the processing always use spinning technology and equipment, resulting in low, spinnability of fiber quality is not high, resulting in a serious waste of resources. Our experts after years of painstaking research,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carried out the research of planting full range system until the terminal product development applications from hemp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finally overcome the world problems, and creatively launched a series of scientific and technological achievements with complete independent intellectual property rights, realize industrialization production of high-quality cotton hemp fiber. At present, the new technology for the production of cotton fiber has been used for military camouflage uniforms, shirts, uniforms varieties; series of civilian clothing development has entered the market; some new products are also exported to Europe and the United States and other countries and regions.
