• We got womped in the air, losing dozens of B-24J to CAP over the KB's. It looked as though maybe each squadron arrived without any other bombers (although a few had fighter escort), which must have greatly increased losses.
• I believe the enemy ground units in Bangkok are moving SE, so we will fly as many ground strike missions as possible despite the heavy flak.
• There is one enemy ground unit SE of Bangkok and our light tanks are moving on it. I'm hoping we can dislodge it before other enemy units arrive. In about 3 days we should have an infantry Bn there to help.
Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia
• Dangerous passage.

When I went to Thailand and Laos a few years back we flew into Udon Thani on our way to Laos. Noodles was my first thought on seeing that place name too!
