Unfortunately, a Jap attack at Clark went off at 1:1 and removed the last fortifications there. I will take 2 Scout Bn's out of reserve and move a Milita Div. from Bataan and see if I can hold a bit longer at Clark.

The 3 P-38's at Bataan went into action today, ambushing, with the P-40's, a Jap raid on Manila. A dozen Nates and 2nd line bombers went down.

Bataan has 37,000 tons of supply.

Considering the young Lt. is stuck on Nauru Is., the Japs have taken Rabaul and Lunga and Tarawa, the KB is loose in the South Pacific AND the mail boat is late, I would say he should feel lucky if he is able to reproduce.


If it happens, I would favor something like Jane Uppington-Smyth nez Gauno

Oh, I see, you mean the maiden name thing.

I forgot to mention that the Lt. is the 3rd great grandson of Chief Dan George of the Nez Guano tribe of the Platte River valley. Quite an amazing story, really.

To try to stop that from happening, there are PBY's at Luganville, Noumea, Fiji and Funafuti.

Much as "Netties" are Nells and Betties with similar performance envelopes and mission profiles, I believe that the vernacular "stringbags" refers to both Swordfish and Vildebeest aircraft in the same derivative category.
