A copy of an article about the airplane strikes on the USS Witter. The article has no date or indication of what publication it was from, and is reproduced on photo-style paper. The article uses a pejorative term for Japanese people that was unfortunately common at the time. The article is brief, describing the initial attack as well as stating that the Witter had to defend against approximately 200 more attacks while docked for repairs.
