Our top ace is still active. As a bonus: Enemy convoy is shattered by our LBA [8D] AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/15/45 Night Air Attacks Night Air attack on Amami , at 56,44 Japanese aircraft C6N1-S Myrt x 11 Allied aircraft P-61A Black Widow x 3 No Japanese losses No Allied losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air Combat Day Air attack on Taipei , at 50,43 Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft B-24J Liberator x 174 Japanese aircraft losses B6N Jill: 2 destroyed Allied aircraft losses B-24J Liberator: 14 damaged Japanese ground losses: 360 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 49 Airbase supply hits 19 Runway hits 329 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Nagasaki , at 58,42 Allied aircraft Thunderbolt II x 29 No Allied losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few Invaders with a huge escort appears over Kitakyushu and encounters and equally big defending CAP.
