General Jack Catton, who landed Joltin' Josie on Saipan's Isley Field in October of 1944, endorses Rain of Fire!General Jack Catton, who landed Joltin' Josie on Saipan's Isley Field in October of 1944, endorses Rain of Fire!'Memories, vivid and exciting, abounded as I read Col. Phillips' account of the last seven months of our B-29 air assault against Japan, which brought their unconditional surrender in August of 1945. Charlie and I were members of the same combat unit, the 873rd Bomb Squadron, a part of the 73rd Bomb Wing's 498th Bomb Group operating from Saipan. I know what he has written is completely authentic since we both served as aircraft commanders in that fine unit.The B-29 was remarkable, ahead of its time, a truly superb combat airplane.Charlie's account is an historic record of events from the perspective of a combat aircraft commander and squadron operations officer.'.

Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings. Signed and inscribed by the author, Charles L. Phillips, Jr. ( (873rd Bomb Squadron, 498the Bomb Group, 73rd Bomb Wing, Saipan) to Earl Myers (499th Bomb Group, 73rd Bomb Wing, Saipan) with black pen on the full title page. "THEY FACE A DEADLY CHALLENGE EVERY DAY. With a cruising altitude of 32,000 feet, the B-29 Superfortress could fly well above the effective altitude of Japanese fighter aircraft. Yet General LeMay ordered them to fly the incendiary raids at altitudes as low as 5,000 feet. What did they stand to gain - and to lose - by this radical approach? How did they rise to the challenge? Find out from one of the pilots who made it happen - a pilot who flew 29 missions and documented every step. Col. Charles L. Phillips, Jr., was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, as well as two oak leaf clusters, the equivalent of three DFCs, in 1945 for his leadership and courageous performance in 29 bombing raids over Japan in 1945. Trusting God to bring them back together after the War, he and his wife Mary Lou kept detailed records of everything that happened, making this book one of the best documented accounts of its kind. Col. Phillips has amassed an impressive collection of facts and photos to illuminate his gripping story." " - from the rear outer cover. "Charlie and I shared a unique niche in the history of mankind during those months on Saipan when B-29s were wreaking havoc on Japan. He does us all a great favor as he records the sorties and formation flights that all of our aircraft commanders and flight crews experienced over the endless miles of the Pacific Ocean. We thought they contributed mighily to the defeat of Japan and the end of the War. History has borne us out. His study and research develops information about these men and machines that would have been lost. This is a magnificent record of the era of the B-29. Surely the buildup of air power demonstrated by the hundreds of planes flying almost daily to bomb the Japanese Empire was the climax of the short but important contribution of this wonderful airplane." - Paul Kroesen, editor, Superfort Saga, A History of the 873rd Bomb Squadron. "As an old-time newspaper reporter who covered aviation events back in the days of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, I have been far better informed about the course of World War II after reading Colonel Phillips' account of his part in the B-29 air assault against Japan in the last seven months of the war." - Forrest Forbes, Calimesa, California. "As the Chaplain of the 498th Bomb Group of the 73rd Bomb Wing from the time of its inception in 1943 until the end of the war in 1945, I am greatly impressed with the detailed and accurate recounting of the many bombing missions flown and endured by Colonel Charles Phillips, whom I knew personally during his tour of duty on Saipan." - Cecil Cowder, Chaplain, 498th Bomb Group, 73rd BW, Saipan.
