Thank you for contacting the History Hub.
We searched the Records of the Office of Strategic Services (RG 226) and located the report you seek. The report is titled “History of Blossom Radio (Green’s Project)” by Major Richard G. Pratt that describes the operation on Saipan. It is part of larger report titled “WASH-MO-RES-12: Asiatic War Diary -- Washington/Far East, 1945” [RG 226, Entry A1 139 - Washington/Field Station Records (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6267087), Box 188, Folder 2500]. Another copy of the report is located in RG 226, Entry UD 92 -- COI/OSS Central Files, 1941-1946 (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/595653), Box 605, Folder 1 (part 1 of 3) -- 33337 “#3 The Saipan Installation.”
To request copies of this report, please contact the Textual Reference Archives II Branch in College Park, MD via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you, again, for posting your question on the History Hub, and best of luck with your search!
