With over 120 aircraft lost this turn, more against him (the B-25 and Dauntlesses account for around 50) not sure how long we can continue... Defending Ayuthia from the air is difficult and nesesscary, being an open hex casulties are high, well over 1,000. However as he is focusing on bombing the troops we reach level 5 forts.
