N&IC: 3rd day without the KB. Either we are missing the window to send more guys or we are cleverly refusing their bait. Noumea is going to go to a level 4 airfield in 2-3 days if JJ doesn't do something. 3 fully armed prewar USN BB's are steaming off of Noumea and everyone is getting a nice tan. The new blue officer jackets with the striped red neck kerchiefs look splendid. We send some DD's to Koumac. 3rd night in a row. This time it works, sort of. Night Time Surface Combat, near Koumac at 113,156, Range 11,000 Yards Japanese Ships AMC Aikoku Maru, Shell hits 5, heavy fires Allied Ships DD Litchfield, Shell hits 1 DD Brooks One DD pretty much just makes it hard to sleep Night Naval bombardment of Koumac at 113,156 Allied Ships DD Brooks DD Brooks firing at 33rd/A Division Col. Cathcart <in briefing room at Suva International>: Here are the latest recon photos. As you can see, the airstrip is over here between the taro patch and the refuse dump in the NW corner. Here you can see the refueling truck...err...I mean the refueling hand cart. Now, the reporter from Time is going to fly along with...<looks at notes>..Yossarian so we want to be careful and not cause any collateral damage. Right, any questions. Young hirsute officer: How are we supposed to see anything? Colonel Cathcart: Why, with the Norden bombsight, of course. The United States Army Air Force has lavishly supplied you with the latest technology. Young hirsute officer: But it's dark. Colonel Cathcart: Group predicts a bomber's moon tonight. Young hirsute officer: Fine, the Moon can have my seat then. Colonel Cathcart: <leans over and quietly asks Squadron Flight Surgeon> Who is that guy? Doc Daneeka: That's Yossarian, Colonel. Colonel Cathcart: Is he crazy or something? Doc Daneeka: Who, Yosssarian? Naahh, probably the least crazy person here. Colonel Cathcart: LISTEN UP EVERYONE! Change of plans. the Time reporter will be flying with Nately.
