"I think Chichijima was the island where the Japanese slaughtered our prisoners of war. George HW Bush was trying to bomb that island, if I recall."

You are correct. Well documented in the book "Flyboys" by James Bradley, who also wrote "Flags of Our Fathers."

Thanks. This old memory isn't what it should be, but when I saw the name of the island I remembered GHWBush talking about what was happening there.
