It may be useful for you to do the map in reverse...<br/>
<br/>
I.e., see where YOUR planes can reach from your bases.<br/>
<br/>
I found Milne Bay to be quite dangerous in that planes there could threaten IJN supply to their forces ...

Ah! I think you may be right. heh.

I'm wondering, have you thought ...
