Commander Paul D. Buie likened the Hellcats' success to 'shooting turkeys' during the Marianas Turkey Shoot. In June 1944, American forces advanced across the Central Pacific, needing the Mariana Islands. Aircraft carriers were key. Ozawa's airstrikes failed, with heavy Japanese losses and minimal American casualties. #Hellcats #MarianasTurkeyShoot #PacificOcean #WorldWarII #MilitaryHistory | War Stories
