SUBJECT: AIR WAR OVER BURMA
DATE: MAY 4TH, 1942

A MONSTER RAID TAKE OFF FROM MAGWE-MANDALAY-SWHEBO AIRFIELDS TO SMASH ENEMY RUNWAY AT COLIMILLA.
97 KI43IC AND 4 KI-44 ESCORTED 41 KI-21, 13 KI-30, 11 KI-48 OVER ENEMY TERRITORY. 12 HURRICANES AND 15 P-40 WERE MET ON CAP OVER ENEMY AIR SPACE. 4 ENEMY FIGHTERS WERE DOWNED IN THE DOGFIGHT WITH ANOTHER 2 FIGHTERS AND 1 BLENHEIM DESTROYED ON GROUN. OUR PILOTS REPORTED 5 CASUALTIES, 3 AIRBASE, 1 AIRBASE SUPPLY AND 35 RUNWAY HITS OVER ENEMY AIR FACILITIES.

A SECOND RAID WITH 13 UNESCORTED KI-48IB REPORTED 1 B26 DESTROYED ON GROUND AND 1 AIRBASE, 1 AIRBASE SUPPLY AND 8 RUNWAY HITS.

A THIRD RAID TO SWEEP ENEMY SKIES AND DESTROY BRITISH FIGHTERS TAKE OFF HOURS LATER WITH 24 A6M2 FROM IJNAF RANGOON DETACHMENT AND 21 KI-43-IC. 3 P-40 AND 3 HURRICANES WERE MET ON CAP AND TWO BRITISH FIGHTERS WERE DOWNED.

A FOURTH UNCOORDINATED RAID WITH 05 UNESCORTED KI-32 REPORTED 1 B-26 DESTROYED ON GROUND AND 2 RUNWAY HITS.

239 SORTIES TODAY AGAINST COLMILLA AIRFIELD. I HOPE THAT WE HAVE STRIKE ALL ENEMY AIRFIELDS AT INDIAN/BURMESE BORDER IN FEW DAYS TO AVOID MORE BRITISH HARRASING STRIKES WITH BOMBER ASSETS FROM THESE BASES AGAINST OUR CENTRAL BURMA RUNWAYS.

LONG LIVE TO THE EMPEROR !

SUBJECT: AIR STRIKES OVER NORTHERN AUSTRALIAN TARGETS
DATE: MAY 5TH, 1942

After today have been launched several raids, like bellow, over enemy territory, our assets will be resting for several day, training for naval attack with torpedoes by few days. New crews have arrived to our air assets and naval torpedo launching training will be a must in the theatre.

I am out of targets with all our recons flights reporting massive damages on enemy facilities at Darwin, Katherine, Broome, Wyndham and Derby. Logistic capability to restore operational level in the northern australian airfields and ports is so huge that we have time to rest and resupply our bases.

- 24 Ki-21 IIA (IJAAF) strike Derby reporting 3 aribase, 1 airbase supply and 10 runway hits.
- 52 IJN level bombers escorted by 16 A6M2 strike Broome airfield reproting 2 Hudosn destroyed on ground and 4 casualties. 3 airbase, 1 airbase supply and 39 runway hits were reported too.

Long Live to the Emperor !

what a great day for you - it seems your luck has turned when it comes to Submarines


Hi SoliInvictus202,

Yes, this was a great day for IJN Submarines... Luckly the I-32 reacted to move of the (unescorted?) tankers and other submarines in the area were on the trail of enemy convoy. It was a great chase day for SUBRON2...Probably Jonathan will intensify his ASW searching in the area and I would take any meassure. Air Recon flight over Trinconmalee have been ordered with G4M1s (from P.Blair) to know more about RN assets at this base. Releave boats are available at Penang (Georgetown) to departure when my "at war patrol" boats will must to return due Bingo Fuel or Bingo Winchester.

Best of wishes !
Ramón
