Night Raid on Chi- Chi
Lt. M. Honeyman
Jima; Also Iwo
In a night raid on Chi Chi Jima
last February, First Lt. Max
Honeyman, pilot of a B-24 bomb-
er, and his crew knocked out a
radar station which had been
causing no little trouble to the
sky-men.
For his part in
t h e successful
mission, Lt.
Honeyman was
awarded the
Distinguished
Flying Cross.
"It was pretty
rugged, he said:
"We had to go
in under t h e
clouds forcing us Lt. Honeyman
to fly less than 1,000 feet from
the ground. The plane bored
through small arms fire and
knocked out the station."
Another time, during a raid on
Iwo, it was strictly a case of
nerves. And they really had to
be strong and steady.
"Our plane broke but below
the clouds for a visual run," he
said. "We were jumped by a
Jap fighter plane and had to
dodge in and out of the clouds
for an hour. Those- jokers had
developed a nasty habit of ram-
ming. When they .came boring
in, you couldn't tell whether
they were going to make a suicide
job of it or not.
"You just had to sweat it out."
Honeyrnan had 40 missions to
his credit before receiving his re-
lease from the AAF July 26. He
is a graduate • of Northwestern
High and .Wayne University.
Prior to enlisting in June, 1942,
he had taken a course in optom-
etry in Chicago.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Honeyman of 2610 Webb
Ave.
