From five or 10,000 feet in the air...as we came into Canton Island that morning...the surf combined with the whiteness of the coral and of course the ocean had a very mottled look, as if someone had taken something and roughed it up with sandpaper. There didn't seem to be anything to it. You wouldn't have paid any attention, but of course the pilot knew where he was, and he landed us there. "

Letter from Stg. Philip Ingram

US troops arrived in force today, and the USO was already there:

Never in the field of humorous AARs was so much owed by so many to so few.

Too much fun? Surely you jest. There is no such thing.

This team WITP thing is a blast. When something goes wrong you can always blame it on someone else. Plus, you can leave the worst fiascoes out of the AAR Would be nice to merge the files in a non-sequential fashion, though.

Off topic, but a serious entomological dilemma just ocurred to me while I was waiting for my coffee to brew. I watched a fly assiduously cleaning his front legs and head for a couple of minutes. This chap was seriously obsessed. Then it occurs to me.."What's the point?" When he is done he is just going to spend a lot of energy looking for another pile of you know what to land on. Well, in his defence, I suppose he could have been a fruit fly.

Status: offline 		After the bloody nose sustained in the first invasion attempt, the Japanese have come back at Kendari like a linebacker after the humiliation of a chop block. No less than 4 battleships and 6 heavy cruisers are hurling 8 to 14 diameter HE shells at the place for 3 days now. Allied air wisely bugged out again when the BB's showed up. USS Edsall, lead ship in the destroyer squadron during the battle of Kendari lost hedway and had to be towed to Kendari, only to be pumelled again during the bombardment of the harbor. Rather than be destroyed in port, she made a run for Lautem, but had to be scuttled 100 nm short of her destination. Of the original invasion TF, it appears not one ship survived, though most of the asault troops got off North of Kendari.

Seems a Japanese soldier was up in a tree for quite some time reporting back to his command when he mistakingly kicked over a heavy metal pale which hit Cap square on the head. We now know that the Japanese soldier was up there for quite some time due to size of the metal pale and also the quanity of feces and urine found all over on Cap . He will return to duty as soon as possible to continue to spank the IJN..

actually Cap is on a short vacation and will be back soon )

Nigel;

Here is an action picture from Cap Wolff, BS-VIG-1 Groep during the morning attack, Jan 14, in the Java Sea. The vessel on the left is identified as either Kongo or Haruna. Our best estimate is 3 confirmed torpedo hits each on 2 Kongo class BB's. Confirmed air losses, 1 Martin 139 and 1 BeaufortV-IX. I suspect our little friends may be a bit more cautious about venturing within Swordfish/Beaufort range in the future.
