The battle for Java has begun. Fighting on a massive scale going on. The Dutch have thrown just about everything but the kitchen sink at our approaching forces and managed to score a moderate number of hits. The cost though is heavy. Over 40 planes have been downed in the last two days and dozens more destroyed on the ground as JAAF and JNAF forces sweep the island north to south in search of enemy airpower. Rabaul raided for the first time. Defending Zeros offer battle...claim 7 downed.
