Green:Well, obviously, up until this time though, you really
wouldn't have had too much of an opportunity to check
over the results of that photo reconnaissance of the
Tokyo area, would've you? Not if you were in combat
and so on in Zamboanga.
No, no, no, no. Zamboanga was just a little two-
week affair. I was ostracized as the target information
center until the Visayan campaign was completed and the
Lingayan Gulf and all that was completed. Now we were
getting ready to go into Tokyo.
Okay, then I guess we need to pick up the story from
here then. Where did you go from Zamboanga? What
were your duties from that point on?
I went back. After two weeks, I went back to Telegrafo
on Leyte to my unit there.
This is where the preparations then took place for
"Operation Coronet?"
That's right. That's right.
You were involved in that plan at that time?
That is right. That's what we were planning for. But
see, we could not even get into "Operation Coronet" until
the Visayan campaign had concluded, Mindanao taken care
of and . . . what is the northern island called?
