"I got this photo from Jim Kendall of the 307th BG Long Rangers he said Japanese anti-aircraft fire was a problem every time they showed up it really pissed the Japs off and 80th FS pilot Cy Homer got a Ki-43 Oscar kill there in July 27 1944 McGuire got a kill there that day, ace Ken Giroux from the 36FS got a Kill there on the 27th plus several other members of the 80th FS and the 431FS also got Kills that day and just a short distance away at the Galela drome the Ace's from the 35th FS including Dick West knocked down 6 Jap Tony's so July 27 was bad day for Japanese Army Aviation in the Halmaheras."
