Is that when only old geezers fly the bombers?



Yes. And everyone gets a Traveler's Companion to deal with the prostate issues.*

I was worried that JJ might spot our two damaged CVE's at Butuan. There was a Corsair squadron at Butuan to cover them. The Corsairs got moved up to cover the ships at Aparri. Of course, they pick THIS turn to do a port attack at Butuan. Only 16 Martlets trying to cover both Cagayan and Butuan. It's like Phirripine whack-a-mole and we are the mole.

JJ tests the waters at Iba. Any opportunity for IJA attack there is now lost. Maybe they know that and are just seeing if they have to watch their back? Looks like we won't have enough to attack until 37th ID is fully ashore..at a minimum.

We lost a few RAAF Beauforts which went in first without escorts but it was tremendously effective, causing perhaps 2,000 casualties or disablements. I won't post it all. It would go on for 3 pages.
