東京空襲の反応

東京空襲で捕虜となった米軍パイロットを日本が処刑したというニュースに対して、ステートメントを読む陸軍アーノルド。
Narrator: In Washington, Air Commander General Arnold gives the order to the Army Air Force.
Arnold: In violation of every rule of military procedure, and every concept of human decency, the Japanese have executed several of your brave comrades who took part in the first Tokyo raid. Those men died as heroes. We must not rest. We must redouble our efforts until the inhuman warlords who committed this crime have been utterly destroyed.
Narrator: Tokyo raiders Captains Watson, right, and Lawson, left, tell of targets bombed and the vengeance to come.
Watson: We were fortunate in getting through the antiaircraft and reaching our Number 1 target. We dropped the entire load on this tank factory and had the satisfaction in seeing two of the bombs score direct hits.
Lawson: We all feel pretty strongly about these boys that we were with. We had all been pretty close, (a) large family, or almost like brothers. We had known each other from a year to a year and a half before this raid ever came off. We knew their families, their children. And if there’s any way to get even, we’ll certainly try.
