At Melbourne, our SBD jockeys sleep in again. Terribly disappointing after special ordering new 2nd Marine Air Wing patches and coffee mugs and everything. Once the General gets back to Adelaide, we will fly in the entire 2nd Marine Air Wing Hq boys and I don't think the general is going to be too happy. JJ brings in more fighters.

Obviously, the LYB's are not afraid of our dive bombers at Melbourne. We need to bring over the P-39's and F4F from Noumea and NZ and overwhelm the CAP over the carriers...or sneak in some gunnery platforms at night. [image]local://upfiles/7983/757C56D5AC4645E98EEDC5E4340A5755.jpg[/image]

Perhaps he has not set up minesweepers yet. Some sub-laid mines might just cause some excitement of the good kind ...

The KB is parked just South of Geelong again. They may have even dropped anchor, and are making campfires and playing beach volleyball ashore.
