Massive figher losses continue. Over 600 Allied planes have been destroyed by the end of the second day of war, the majority of these being Allied fighters. This bodes well for my vulnerable carriers as a paucity of fighters makes them much more secure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on ROC 53rd Guerilla Regiment, at 53,33 Japanese aircraft Ki-21-II Sally x 11 Ki-46II/C7M2 Dinah x 2 No Japanese losses Allied ground losses: 87 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Indian 22nd Brigade, at 24,48 Japanese aircraft Ki-21-II Sally x 9 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21-II Sally: 3 damaged Allied ground losses: 7 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on RAF No. 107 Base Force, at 28,37 Japanese aircraft Ki-21-II Sally x 39 Ki-46II/C7M2 Dinah x 2 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-21-II Sally: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied ground losses: 95 casualties reported Guns lost 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on RAF No. 108 Base Force, at 25,39 Japanese aircraft Ki-48-I Lily x 10 Ki-46II/C7M2 Dinah x 1 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-48-I Lily: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied ground losses: 43 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 107,70 Well, well, it looks like battle is joined at a range of 120 miles. Unfortunately this means the Devastators can join in and represents a very aggressive closing of range by the Allied carrier. Japanese aircraft A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke x 48 F1M2 Pete-FF x 1 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 6 SBD-3 Dauntless x 33 TBD Devastator x 15 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke: 1 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-3 Wildcat: 6 destroyed SBD-3 Dauntless: 16 destroyed, 1 damaged TBD Devastator: 11 destroyed Essentially the A6M2s on CAP took care of the 6 escorting Wildcats and then bored in to destroy 11 of the Devastators and 16 of the SBDs. Several Dauntlesses turned back but 4 Devastators and 11 Dauntlesses bored in. Japanese Ships CV Soryu, Bomb hits 1 CV Hiryu BB Kirishima Aircraft Attacking: 2 x SBD-3 Dauntless bombing at 2000 feet 2 x TBD Devastator launching torpedoes at 200 feet 2 x SBD-3 Dauntless bombing at 2000 feet 4 x SBD-3 Dauntless bombing at 2000 feet 3 x SBD-3 Dauntless bombing at 2000 feet 2 x TBD Devastator launching torpedoes at 200 feet Soryu was hit by a single 1,000 lb bomb which causes extensive system and fire damage. She will be slowed a little but should still be able to continue combat operations. So, in spite of facing 49 fighters on CAP and having a wholly inadequate number of escorts 15 of the 54 attacking planes actually managed to burst through and make attack runs. With just a bit more luck they could have done serious damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Kendari [Celebes] at 33,71 Japanese aircraft F1M2 Pete-FF x 1 Allied aircraft Hudson IV x 3 No Japanese losses No Allied losses Japanese Ships APD Shiokaze -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Jolo [Jolo] at 39,59 Japanese aircraft F1M2 Pete-FF x 5 Allied aircraft B-17D Fortress x 5 No Japanese losses No Allied losses Japanese Ships AK Kanto Maru AP Eiko Maru -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Johore Bahru [MLA] at 22,50 Japanese aircraft F1M2 Pete-FF x 10 A6M2-N Rufe-FF x 1 Allied aircraft Buffalo/F2A x 6 Hudson IV x 3 Vildebeest IV x 9 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses Vildebeest IV: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships AP Kizan Maru AP Tutukami Maru -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Balikpapan [Borneo] at 31,64 Japanese aircraft F1M2 Pete-FF x 2 Allied aircraft Martin 139/B-10 x 2 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses Martin 139/B-10: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships CL Nagara, on fire -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 106,72 Japanese aircraft A6M2/Ki-65 Zeke x 6 F1M2 Pete-FF x 2 D3A2/Ki-47 Val x 41 B5N2 Kate x 51 Allied aircraft F4F-3 Wildcat x 11 The CAP was rudely brushed aside by overwhelming numbers.

The CAs only suffer minor damage. It has to be borne in mind that many of these bomb hits are only of 60 Kg bombs which are useless against anything more heavily armoured than a destroyer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 23,52 Japanese aircraft F1M2 Pete-FF x 6 E13A1 Jake x 3 Japanese aircraft losses E13A1 Jake: 1 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied Ships BB Prince of Wales -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The two CVLs operating around Sulawesi begin to take a toll of the enemy shipping. Their pilot experience is shockingly low but I hope that a coupe of weeks of continued operations will provide the solution to this problem.
