SUBJECT: AIR STRIKES OVER NORTHERN AUSTRALIA
DATE: APRIL 23RD, 1942

Since Febr 21st, 1942 our 23rd Air flotilla assets have launched day after day succesives strikes against enemy targets at Northern Australia. Darwin, Katherine, Wyndham, Derby and Broome have been supressed enough to be unavailable for enemy counterstrikes against strategic S.R.A resource bases.

Now, our forces have been heavily reinforced with new assets withdraw from Balikpapan and Palembang after the end of the Java campaign.

Our deployement at Timor, like bellow:

- 100 IJN level bombers based at Koepang.
- 32 A6M2 Type-0 Naval Fighters based at Koepang.

- 16 Recon aircrafts from IJAAF/IJNAF based at Timor bases (Lautern-Dili-Roti)
- 06 floatplanes supported by one AV at Koepang for ASW duties.
- 22 A6M2 Type-0 Naval Fighters based at Roti

I am awaiting Ki-48Ib 8th Sentai will be transfered in few days (21 aircrafts available) and will be deployed at Eastern Timor when airfield will be resized to level 2.

Sub minelaying ops and surface blockade task groups have been supported our suppresion strikes. Nil enemy air activities and our recon flights over enemy bases confirms heavy damages over port and airfield facilities.

One ship have been spotted at Derby and another one at port Darwin, both of them identified like minesweepers.

Today our strikes over enemy facilities, like bellow:

- 19 A6M2 escorting 35 G4M1 strike Darwin reporting 1 aribase and 20 runway hits

However, I will wait to IJAAF engineer constructions unit in transit to improve my fortify works in the frontline !.

Solinvictus202,

Bad luck for my IJN SS skipers !...
I am pretty sure, Jonathan will landings at Santa Cruz islands to use like supporting and jumping point to Salomons. He will need to works hard to level up their airfields, several of them into my LR air assets from Munda.

Combined Fleet will reply to this ops in few days with a great blow, but my target is a top secret now. Wait a few days and you will know more :).

Thanks for your interest and posting.
Best of wishes, and best of lucks in your game!
Ramón
