These were the closing months of the war in the Pacific, and Kennedy’s mission was to destroy any enemy shipping he could find. Hanging from the outboard stations of his Consolidated PB4Y Privateer aircraft were two very secret, odd-looking, wooden glide bombs.
Kennedy’s squadron had been equipped that April with the new weapon, and so far the results had been mixed. This new glide weapon, carrying a 1,000-pound bomb in its belly, had shown it could certainly do damage, but it had not exactly hit what its operators had targeted. ....
