March 5th and 6th were slow days with little to report. Allied B-17s bombed Port Moresby, and minesweepers cleared Singapore harbor for use. March 7th saw a series of fighter sweeps over Soerabaja. The allied pilots fought well against the initial wave of Zeros, but a 2nd wave of Oscars was able to inflict significant losses on the allied aircraft. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Soerabaja , at 56,104 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 14 NM, estimated altitude 19,000 feet.
