Oct 17, 1943 No night bombing. Allies bomb heavily again in Indochina, sweep Sabang in Sumatra where we trade 1-1, shooting down a dozen Corsairs and 8 of the latest Lightnings with a mixed force of Georges (high), Oscar IV (low) and Tojo IIcs (medium). I have shot down 250 Corsairs, but they are the older model, Allies get the newer improved Corsair (CV capable) and at double or triple the production rate. Allies try to send some LCTs, in individual task forces, to resupply his paratroopers where a small fast transport fleet of Japan's was offloading. The PBs scared off the LCTs, I hope, but I think the Allies will respond with a Fletcher sweep. Of course, my naval attack planes don't fly against these small LCTs, and even the bigger 6 ship force is within range at Car Nicobar.
