BRAVO ZULU MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
The Marianas Islands formed Japan's inner defense ring. On December 8, 1941, Japanese forces from Saipan and Tinian attacked the US territory of Guam. Retaking Guam and capturing Saipan and Tinian would bring Tokyo within range of B-29 Superfortresses. American troops faced several harrowing experiences in the Marianas, including mass suicides by Japanese soldiers and civilians. In August 1945 the B-29s Enola Gay and Bockscar took off from Tinian with atomic bombs.
