Typed Report Page: 68th and 102d AAA Brigade Operations During the Luzon Campaign
This page comes from a typed U.S. Army report chronicling antiaircraft artillery operations during the Luzon Campaign of 1945. It records the sharply diminished threat posed by Japanese airpower by this stage of the war, credits antiaircraft units with an expanded ground-support role, and documents the 68th AAA Brigade's transfer to Eighth Army control as forces began staging at Luna, La Union, in anticipation of the planned invasion of the Japanese home islands. Documents such as this provide the statistical and organizational backbone that complements the photographic record of the Luzon campaign held elsewhere in this collection. Project: 218442
