noon meal on May 11 while stand
ing off Okinawa, we got the first
direct hit of a Jap suicide plane,"
Edwards related "Seconds later
the second plane struck. From then
on for more than 12 hours, we had
to fight fires which destroyed
many planp* on the carrier. Finally
about 11 pm, we had the fire un
der control.
"It s hard to say what your feel
ing is when bombs strike," he
continued. "In fact, there’s little
time to do much thinking. There's
so much to he done to help save
the ship and the wounded."
The death list of the Bunker
Hill, flagship of Admiral Marc
Mitscher's task force, nurrdvered
373 Another 264 were wounded
and 19 missing. When the fires
were brought under control, the
ship limped under its own power

than to return to Detroit and raise
