Let me know at the bottom of this page. C. Jeff Dyrek |
I was on the LST
979 at Ie Shima. We were loaded and ready to make the Invasion of the
Mainland when the A-Bomb was dropped. I wrote notes while listening to
the pilots direct the Jap Betty Bombers in the land. I have pictures of
the Jap officers sitting under the wing of their plane while waiting for
the paper work. I also have a picture of their pilot standing on the
wing of the Betty. We were to carry engineers in on the
third wave. Our Skipper told us we would probably all be dead because
they expected to lose the best part of ten waves to take the beach.
I wont forget those days. I was a Radioman. I also was on board
the LST 1019 at the Invasion of Southern France before being transferred
off. I am now 81. I was 18 when at France.
