mogami -> Palambang? (4/18/2002 11:44:42 AM)

I have search the map for UV in vain looking for Palambang. I think it's in Sumatra. Most of the names in New Guiena or New Britian are amusing. Gasmata sounds like a Rolaids commercial.
Gilli Gilli? Bob Denver staring in Gilli Gilli's airfield
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful raid
That started from this tropic port, (Rabaul)
to bomb this tiny place.
The aircrews where mighty flying' men,
the CO brave and sure,
Five squadrans dropped bombs that day
In a three hour raid.
A three hour raid.
The AA started getting rough,
the tiny base was toast.
If not for the courage of the fearless ground crew,
the battle would be lost.
The battle would be lost.
The planes were grounded on the airfield of this
unrepaired Pacific base
With Gilligan, the CO too,
The LCU with no support,
A few AA, some burinig ships and Malaria,
here on Gilli Gilli airfield.
