Lt.(jg) Douglas Raymond Cahoon
1921-1945
 

This is a collection of painting complete by Douglas R. Cahoon while in training or combat during WWII. Doug served in the US Navy as a pilot; first as a dive-bomber, then a fighter in VF-4. Doug was stationed upon the USS Bunker Hill 11/4/44 to 11/17/44. He then moved to the USS Essex 11/20/44 to 3/1/45. He flew an F6F Hellcat and was involved in:

Doug, like many others, struggled with the war. He was an artist by trade and had attended The Art Center School in Los Angeles, CA. He was married just six weeks before being sent to the Pacific. He utilized his talent as a major instrument of release and to tell his story of the war. After a "hop" he would return to his room and paint what he had just experienced.  He painted aircraft, war scenes, and scenes of nature, including the typhoon of December 1944.

Douglas Raymond Cahoon was shot down over Naha, Okinawa. He was never heard of again. His paintings live to tell the story of war he saw first hand. Following are some of his paintings. I am looking for a publisher who might
be interested in a great WWII story told by an eyewitness through his art. One of these paintings hung in a theatre (many years ago) in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.

If you are interested, please contact me.
Note: Mike Shore took many of the photos of the painting seen below.

Attack on Luzon , Philippines.  November 1944

    On November 14, 1944, written in Doug's log book, ?Fighter sweep Clark field.? Doug flew four hours on a ?Z? type flight. Four sweeps were launched, the first was on Luzon where the targets were chosen when they arrived. The second target was Manila Harbor, with the third and fourth being Clark Field.  On the third strike, VF-20 fighters joined with VF-4 and proceeded to Clark Field. They bombed and hit the remaining intact hanger and two other buildings, and strafed planes in revetments.
   Another sweep found Clark Field covered with clouds from 6,000 down to 3,000 feet.  The pilots found one small hole in the cover and the fighters dove through it. After numerous runs, the group left three Bettys and one Sally burning, with other single and twin engine aircraft damaged. They moved south to Angeles where they strafed some newly discovered parked planes. They burned another Betty, a Liz, and two Sallys. After the strikes, all but one plane returned to base. The missing plane was that of Ensign W. N. Ostlund who had ?disappeared without a trace.?

Mogmog Island at Ulithi in the Marianas.

    Ulithi was located 360 miles southwest of Guam, 850 miles east of the Philippines, and 1,300 miles south of Tokyo. It was a typical volcanic atoll  with coral, white sand and palm trees, all situated in the Western Caroline Islands. The reef ran roughly twenty miles north and south by ten miles across, enclosing a vast anchorage with the average depth of 80 to 100 feet - the only suitable anchorage within 800 miles.
    When the U. S. Navy arrived on the largest Ulithi island they found about 400 natives and three Japanese soldiers. The four largest islands were taken over and put to immediate use by the navy. Asor was setup as a headquarters, while Sorlen was used as a shop to maintain and repair ships. Mogmog was assigned for recreation. The big island, Falalop, was just wide enough for an airstrip which allowed planes to fly in from Guam with over 1,200 passengers, 4,500 sacks of mail, and 260,000 pounds of air freight a week.
    By October of 1944, a whole floating base was in operation at Ulithi. Six thousand ship fitters, artificers, welders, carpenters, and electricians arrived aboard repair ships, destroyed tenders, and floating dry docks. One of the ships even had an air-conditioned optical shop. There also was a supply of base metal that could be made into an alloy and used to form any part the Navy needed. Other ships included, an ice cream barge that made 500 gallons a shift, while another distilled fresh water and baked bread and pies. The refueling ships not only took fuel to the combat ships in the strike areas, but added men, mail, medical supplies, and take orders for spare parts. Thus, Ulithi went from a quiet, lonely atoll to the largest naval base in the world.
    There were no liberty towns in the pacific, and during the seven months that Ulithi served as a base, tiny Mogmog was the only land that most men of the Pacific fleet set foot on. Doug probably made it to Mogmog at least once, but it is doubtful that he had any interest in returning, although he took time to paint a peaceful moment on the island. During the eight or ten days that their carrier was in the harbor, each crewman was allowed one or two days ashore. After the carriers arrived at Ulithi harbor, a parade of LCIs and LCTs pulled alongside and 700 men would climb aboard each boat and shove off for Mogmog. As many as 15,000 eager sailors a day swarmed onto the small, sixty acre island. They arrived at about 1:00 p.m. and stayed until 6:00 p.m., when everyone was required to return to his ship. So many men were milling about on the island that, according to one Navy report, ?Mogmog resembled a sandwich discarded near an ant heap.? The report continued stating that a ?sailors? favorite activities on the island were the four B?s - bathing, baseball, boxing, and above all beer drinking.?
     Mogmog offered a small staff built chapel, a movie theatre and refreshment stands that provided thirsty sailors with alcohol and soft drinks. Rank had its privileges even on Mogmog. A superior area, known as Officers? Country, was off limits to enlisted men and allowed officers to lounge about in thatch-roof clubs, many times enjoying the music provided by a volunteer band of black sailors. As a junior officer, Doug was assigned a separate club from the lieutenants, captains, and admirals, and was given his own ?Fleet Officers? Club, Ulithi Lagoon? membership card. Navy nurses were the only women allowed on the island and they were the exception to the rigid caste system, off-duty Navy nurses were allowed to circulate freely among any of the officers? clubs, but were expected to avoid social encounters with enlisted men.

The "Tony" Doug shot down over Luzon, Philippines. November 1944
 

 ..."On November 25, 1944, the Essex was about 100 miles east of Luzon. Doug and Lieutenant ?Windy? Shields left the Essex at 6:30 a.m., assigned to fly RCAP over the Subic Bay area of Luzon. The morning was sunny with clear skies and visibility at forty miles. After an uneventful morning of patrol over Clark Field, Doug and Windy were finally relieved. At 9:00 a.m., they headed back to the Essex. They were at about 10,000 feet when Doug sighted a bogey at 8,000 feet heading in the opposite direction. Windy had not yet sighted the plane and told Doug to investigate and he would follow. Doug tallyhoed the bogey. While descending to 8,000 feet, Windy sighted six Japanese Tonys above them on an opposite course at 13,000 feet.  Windy immediately told Doug of the Tonys located above them, but he did not receive the transmission and had just engaged the bogey, (which was also identified as a Tony) and had taken pursuit. As the Tony moved into position at 7 o?clock above him, Doug fired his machine guns hitting the Tony just behind the cockpit on the undercarriage.
     In the meantime, three Tonys from above dived down toward Doug and Windy. One flew right past Windy and was firing on Doug?s tail. The other two enemy fighters stayed astern of Windy and fired on him. Windy pursued the Tony on Doug?s tail and fired, causing it to break off. As it attempted to get away, Windy destroyed it with bursts of gun fire. Doug and Windy began the fighter weave as they climbed to 13,000 feet and headed toward their ship.  They were ?harassed? by the two Tonys until they reached the east coast of Luzon, at which point the enemy planes broke off and disappeared.  Doug and Windy safely landed back aboard the Essex at 10:45 a.m., 1,635 rounds of ammunition lighter."
    Doug?s mother Louise, vividly remembered what Doug had told her earlier about engaging the enemy:
"Mother, I will never kill a person... I?ll shoot the gas tank on their planes. But I?ll never shoot a person; I?ll never have that on my shoulders, if I ever shoot anybody... I?ll have to, as long as I am fighting, shoot their gas tank and hope an[d] pray that they will get out safe and sound."
    Doug?s encounter this day was reproduced in a painting he created when he returned to the Essex. The painting of this encounter has smoke coming from the Tony?s center undercarriage just behind the cockpit. This would be Doug?s only air kill.
     After Doug landed back aboard the ship and finished his reports, he went to the conditioning room for a ?fine rub down.? He wrote that, ?it took a lot of the soreness out, but left me with a tired body.? Doug?s letter to his wife on November 25, was understandably short. He could not tell of the experience he had flying and how he felt after his encounter with the enemy. His spirits were definitely not up and he told Rhoda, ?One month from today will be X-mas. It doesn?t mean a heck of a lot to me this year - while it should mean everything. Days are just parts of time that someday will lead to you.? Shortly after Doug?s rub down, more excitement and fear struck everyone aboard the Essex, a Kamikaze hits the Essex.

Information this encounter came from: Combat Reports, AG-4. US Navy Operational Archives; the DRC file; Douglas R. Cahoon?s Aviators Flight Log Book, (In possession of author, covers October 11, 1942 to February 25, 1945). All of Doug?s quotes came from letters he wrote to Mrs. Douglas R. Cahoon, August 1, 1944 to February 27, 1945, and to his family December 12, 1944.
 
 


Plane handler watches the start of the Typhoon from the hanger deck. December 1944

   "...The Essex log for Sunday, December 17, states, ?Fueling at sea in area about 500 miles east of the Philippine Islands.? Underway replenishment operations were difficult and dangerous. The Essex had to maintain precise station alongside the fuel ship with the relative position and speed of both ships being continuously monitored. Bad weather only made the operation that much more treacherous. While the refueling was underway, Doug attended LDS Church services in the ship?s library. At 1:25 p.m., the ship?s log records, ?set course to westward to escape an approaching typhoon.? The weather conditions had worsened to the point that Admiral Halsey ordered all refueling operations halted. Those pilots flying CAP were unable to land aboard the bouncing carriers and had to ditch their planes and be picked up by destroyers. The crews were busy securing aircraft to the decks and some went to the extreme of letting the air out of the tires to prevent the planes from rolling.
    By mid-afternoon, most of the crew were convinced that they were within the path of a developing tropical storm, although the meteorologist could not pinpoint its course, severity, or speed. Admiral Halsey decided that their course needed to be altered, and the Task Group was ordered westward placing them unknowingly back in the path of the storm. The sunset of thickening, red glowing, high-altitude clouds was not promising to the sailors. By 10:00 p.m., the winds had picked up and were logged at twenty-eight knots. Twenty minutes later, another change in fleet course was set to the north away from the storm. Then at midnight, yet another course change was ordered, this time it was tragically ordered due south. Unknown to Admiral Halsey, this last change placed the Task Force directly in the path of the oncoming typhoon.
    On the morning of December 18, Halsey finally gave up the near impossible task of refueling. The Essex log recorded, ?Riding out a second typhoon, which appeared 250 miles to the SE [southeast] in area about 250 miles E[ast] of the Central Philippines.? Around 10:00 a.m., the barometer had plummeted and the wind moved counter-clockwise, a sure sign of a typhoon. Even with those conditions, the ships were not released from formation, a tragic mistake of Halsey?s judgment. Within minutes, the wind was at sixty-two knots and the barometer was at 29.52. Finally, at 11:49 a.m., Halsey gave the order for the fleet to ?take the most comfortable course,? something which many ships had already been forced to do. Between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., the typhoon did its worst damage, tossing huge ships like toys in the seventy-foot waves. The barometer continued to drop and the wind roared at eighty-three knots with gusts well over 100 knots. Again, it was not until 1:45 p.m. that Halsey issued a typhoon warning to Fleet Weather Central, by which time three destroyers, low on fuel, had already gone down. Without the ballast that a full tank provided, and having had new radar equipment added to the ship?s superstructure, they overturned and sank with nearly 800 men.
     Admiral Halsey, who was aboard the battleship New Jersey, later described the typhoon in his autobiography:
"No one who has not been through a typhoon can conceive its fury. The 70-foot seas smash you from all sides. The rain and scud are blinding; they drive you flat-out, until you can?t tell the ocean from the air. At broad noon I couldn?t see the bow of my ship, 350 feet from the bridge... this typhoon tossed our enormous ship as if she were a canoe... we could not hear our own voices above the uproar".
    This ordeal was a terrible disaster for all of Task Force 38. They came face to face with another enemy more relentless than the Japanese Imperial Fleet. Its strength and power exceeded man-made forces and struck fear in the hearts of all aboard TF 38 ships. Planes broke their lashings on the light carriers, and rolled around starting fires or falling overboard. One survivor wrote of the experience, ?One could see perhaps three feet. No one could have lived out there - the rain would have beat them to the deck or the wind lifted them bodily off their feet and hurled them off to leeward.? The Essex and other fast carriers plunged wildly in the mountainous waves; luckily, their exposed girders supporting the flight deck overhang did not buckle.
     In addition to the loss of the three destroyers, major structural damage had been incurred by three light carriers, two escort carriers, three other destroyers, and one cruiser. Additional damage was inflicted on nineteen other ships. Aircraft losses amounted to 146 planes lost or damaged beyond repair. The losses would eventually be blamed on the sloppy conduct of Admiral Halsey.
     The damage caused by the storm kept the Essex and other fast carriers out of action for a few days. By the evening of December 18, Halsey ordered search-and-rescue operations to begin. They continued throughout the following two days with what Halsey called ?the most exhaustive search in naval history.?
     On December 19, Doug flew CAP for nearly three hours. The official Essex log recorded, ?Fueling and receiving replacement aircraft in an area about 250 miles east of Central Philippines.? An afternoon search was launched for straggling ships and survivors of ships that had foundered during the typhoon. That night, in order to relieve tensions and grasp some Christmas spirit, Doug and other pilots sat around the radio in the wardroom and sang Christmas carols. Doug explained his feelings stating, ?it was the first time this year I had any semblance of a Christmas spirit.?
     On December 20, the Essex log stated, ?Operating in TG 38.3, proceeding to search for survivors of vessels that foundered during the typhoon.? Late that afternoon, the ship set course for initial launching point for the continued strikes against Luzon. That night Doug had a meeting in the ready room at 7:00 p.m. Before leaving his room he wrote teasingly to his wife, ?We have a telephone here in our room. Seems like a person should be able to get a long distance on it Huh? One of these days I?ll see if I can?t call you. It would be interesting trying anyway.?
     Again on December 21 and 22, the Essex was ?...proceeding to fueling rendezvous and searching for typhoon survivors en route.? Strikes were cancelled because of weather. However, Doug did fly over three hours of Jack patrol and was undoubtedly involved in the efforts to locate any survivors. The survivors only hope was that a plane might spot them and drop water markers for a destroyer to see. Out of nearly 900 men lost in the storm, only ninety-eight were recovered.
     Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, summed up the disastrous storm by stating it was ?a more crippling blow to the Third Fleet than might be expected to suffer in anything less than a major action.? He also reported it as ?the greatest loss we have ever taken... without compensatory return, since the Battle of Savo.?
     Late in the afternoon of December 22, while the Essex set course for Ulithi Islands, Doug wrote home, ?Only one more shopping day till Xmas out here. I?d better get busy.?"
General information on the typhoon that hit the Task Force was found in, E. B. Potter?s, Bull Halsey (1988); Ernest A. McKay?s, Carrier Strike Force: Pacific Air Combat in World War II (1981); Captain C. Raymond Calhoun?s, Typhoon: The Other Enemy, The Third Fleet and the Pacific Storm of December 1944 (1981); Robert Guttman?s article, ?Fleet Battered by Typhoon? (1995). All of Doug?s quotes came from letters he wrote to Mrs. Douglas R. Cahoon, August 1, 1944 to February 27, 1945, and to his family December 12, 1944. Information about the Cahoon family came from a letter to Doug from his mother and father dated December 23, 1944. Information on strikes, etc. came from, Combat Reports, AG-4. US Navy Operational Archives; the DRC file; Douglas R. Cahoon?s Aviators Flight Log Book, (In possession of author, covers October 11, 1942 to February 25, 1945).
 


Along the coast of the South China Sea. Doug Cahoon and Brad Hovey in their Hellcats.
January 1945
 
    Shortly after the first of the year, Admiral Halsey finally received permission to move the Task Force into the South China Sea. After dark, on January 9, TF 38 moved through Bashi channel into the South China Sea, an extremely high risk move. Admiral Halsey stated to his surprise that they had just slipped past the Japanese. He was searching for a major part of the Japanese fleet that had survived the Battle for Leyte Gulf, especially the ships Ise and Hyuga.
    Two days after the Task Force moved into the South China Sea, Doug was assigned and flew almost three hours on a morning ?Jack? strike. After dinner he reported for a briefing where Chinese currency was distributed and other last minute preparations were made.
    January 12, was the first carrier-based naval air strike against French Indo-China, better known as South Vietnam or Saigon. Doug spent over five hours in the air on a ?scouting? hop. He may have seen the China-based Army Air Force B-24 accidently shot down by the F4U marine pilots who were based on the Essex. Another casualty was a French light cruiser that was attacked by Navy planes. The planes assumed that all ships in the area were Japanese. In spite of the mishaps, it was a good day for the American pilots. The combined effect of the VT and VF attacks was devastating. When the Essex planes retired, all ships had been sunk or beached. Time correspondent Robert Sherrod summed up the results of the strike, ?By any accounting 12 January, 1945, must be regarded as one of the great days of the US Navy.? But with all the success, they still did not locate the Japanese battleships that Halsey had hoped to find and destroy.
    On January 16, Doug flew over four hours RCAP (Rescue Combat Air Patrol) with Bradford Hovey at his wing.

Information on strikes, etc., came from, Combat Reports, AG-4. US Navy Operational Archives; the DRC file; Douglas R. Cahoon?s Aviators Flight Log Book, (In possession of author, covers October 11, 1942 to February 25, 1945).
