VE Day, I was with the BPF and <br />Yanks during Operation Iceberg (Okinawa Sakashima gunto, Ishigaki and Miako shima and the Ryeuko ? Islands.Etc) 1-4-45 to end of May?.<br />VP as little Johnnie called it and those who were there preferred VJ remember it as, I was back up there again for the final three months at sea during WW2. our main entertainment was the constant visits by the Japanese Aerobatic loonies . and night bombardments on the Nip mainland, during which I suffered burns to my face and arms during a serious cockup when one 14 inch gun fired without a shell, however like many others we lived through it and more.
