Welcome to the sixth and final twitter thread (Feb 24, 2021) in the “Section 22 Week” count down to the 24 Feb 2021 premiere of the Bilge Pumps podcast with the Section 22 Special Interest Group e-mail list.
Today's concluding "Twitter special" is a JCS document dated 10 October 1944 on Combined IFF policy in the aftermath of the "Great South Pacific IFF Visitation."
Short form: Adm King's priority was protecting the USN's "Turf," not protecting Allied servicemen from failed IFF.
To close this series I’d like to thank the Bilgepumps podcast crew:
