The first Japanese air operation against Iwo Jima since U. S. Marines concluded the bloody con- quest of that island in the Vol- cano group, 750 miles south of Tokyo, was also disclosed. Army “Black Widow” night fighters in- tercepted the raiding force Sun- day night, and “a number of enemy |hombers were destroyed.” “No hos- tile planes reached the island,” the, | Navy said.
