Re: Air battle 25 December 1944 near Clark field

This snippet is from "Japanese Naval Fighter Aces" By Hata,Izawa and Shores.(p108)
[F]our day later (Dec 24,44) 25 IJN and 20 more from surviving IJAAF units undertook an interception over Clark where 8 victories were claimed...During two further interceptions next day, two veterans...of S308, 221 Kokutai were amongst those lost."

The 1st Sentai IJAAF also lost a pilot on Dec 25,1944.
