Kienchang

We spent the night in a little Catholic village midway between Kienchang and Nan Feng. We decided that I should wait here for some days and that Father Kerr should go on to Kienchang.

On New Year’s Eve in Kienchang, Father Moran was preparing his church for Mass on the next day, a day for which his parishioners had long prepared.

Action continued the next day at Suichuan. Captain John Stewart led eight P-51 As to Kienchang to make the 76th's first attempt at dive-bombing with their Mustangs.
