Scramble for the Marianas by Nicolas Trudgian. (B) SIG2818DHM2663B. Scramble for the Marianas by Nicolas Trudgian. On June 19, 1944 American Navy pilots ripped into wave after wave of enemy aircraft. As each new onslaught arrived there were more fighters there to meet them. Other squadrons joined in the melee and the radio circuits crackled with shouts and cries of encouragement. Hell this is like an old time turkey shoot! yelled one pilot and thus the battle became known as the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
