Estimated time to target is 13 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 9 Allied aircraft P-40E Warhawk x 63 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 3 destroyed No Allied losses after the enemy CV strike a week ago encountered two dozen Warhawks at Darwin the enemy now sends some sweep from Koepang... the Zeroes are horrible outnumbered with 63 out of exactly 100 P-40 on Cap and even though they get their strato dive it only last for two passes... then the Zeroes are shred by our fighters... Koepang -> Darwin = a looong way to fly, which means trouble for any damaged aircraft... 2/3 of the attacking Zeroes are lost...

Estimated time to target is 23 minutes Japanese aircraft Ki-43-Ic Oscar x 31 Allied aircraft P-40E Warhawk x 55 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 6 destroyed Allied aircraft losses P-40E Warhawk: 3 destroyed the Zeroes weren't the only sweep and a big number of Oscars shows up too, amazed they got the range to get from Keopang to Darwin... the Oscars did far better as their strato dive lasted for something like two dozen passes which accounted for 7 P-40 instantly shot down for no loss for the strato sweepers... only as the dive ended we also saw the firing from behind passes to end and then the Oscars suffered from being totally undergunned, not even able to damage the Warhawks... near every burst from the Warhawks resulted in an Oscar falling from the sky which lead to a 2:1 in favour of the P-40 as quite a couple of Oscars crashed on their way home... guess we were able to take down 18-20 enemy aircraft for the loss of 10 Warhawks which is quite a good result considering the date... together with the AVG those 4 P-40E squadrons are flown by the best currently available fighter pilots though so every other squadron should do worse... don't think bluebook will come back with another sweep...

Guess not when I see a TB in the same task force which seems a little strange to me... SS KXII is sighted by escort DD Arashio fails to find sub, continues to search... DD Oshio fails to find sub and abandons search DD Arashio fails to find sub, continues to search... DD Arashio attacking submerged sub ....
