Japanese raid Saipan B-29 base

Japanese fighters attack the base shortly after midnight.

The raid lasted several minutes.

Bulldozers are used to move earth onto the wreckage to stop the flames.

Twelve hours later the Japanese stage a second attack.

The narrator says the attacks came from Iwo Jima (still under Japanese control at the time.)
