ALLIED BASES RING JAPAN'S EMPIRE
GUAM, June 14 (Globe) - With the invasion of Borneo the last link in a great chain of bases of the big assault on
Japan's south-east Asian empire is being forged.
The air bases which the Allies will eventually operate in this area form the southern end of a huge arc of bases that runs
through the Philippines and up to Okinawa.
The pre-invasion bombing of Japanese bases within 1,000 miles of Brunei, incidentally, was the most powerful air attack yet
put in the South West Pacific Theater.
