* President Roosevelt told an applauding joint session of Congress today that this year will bring substantial advance toward victory over the Axis and outlined a post-war world in which Americans would have government assurances of freedom from want “from the cradle to the grave,” and the United Nations would enjoy freedom from fear through the permanent disarmament of Germany, Japan, Italy and any other nation which covets the territory of its neighbor.

Yeah, whatever.

** Are those wrecked planes really Japanese? I don’t believe the field was operational when the Japanese held it, so are those Japanese planes that were downed during attacks and landed on the airfield? I suppose that is possible, given the amount of air combat that took place around Henderson field during the last six months.
