Today's summary is on the Iwo Jima area. Despite it holding over 200 x P51D (along with B25's to keep Bonin surpressed and Recon) it also houses 13 x Divisions and 3 x RCT So glad to see that you could give each man 2 square feet to live in there...oh, wait....we need the space for the planes and the support troops.....so, I guess you must have tunnelled under Suribachi, put in stairs and they are living in the center of the Earth with the Troglodytes.............(editor's note; this is coming from one that has 8 Divisions on Truk atoll, which at least has 38 sq. mi. of dry land area....though one could think that most of the troops spend most of their time on the 150+ transports in the lagoon....but 38 is better than 7.5 sq. mi.)... Just pulling the chain a bit here Speed......glad to see that your war is coming to a successful completion in the near future; well done. Now back to the AAR.
