I look forward to seeing Chichi Jima, maybe I can do some lifegurad duties there and pick up George H. Bush. He got shot down bombing the communications installment there. His two crew members were captured and died at the hands of their captures. Bush on the other hand had to bail out last as the pilot to keep the plane stable enough for the others to jump. The extra time allowed him to swim to a small island off of Chichi Jima and allowed him to be picked up by a sub(if i remember correctly).
Chichi Jima seemed to be for the US Navy airmen what Iwo Jima was to the Marines...they never did knock those comm stations out though.
