Andy,

What LBA do you have to fly into your newly captured atoll airfields to provide CAP ? (to take pressure of the VFs)
Can you air transfer them in or will your fly them off CVEs ? (unlaoding crated a/c from AKs will take too long to repair)

[Andy Mac]

There are about 2,000 combat aircraft in the PI at present, P47's, P38's, PBY's, PB4Y's, B29's, F4U's, P40N's etc etc.  Perhaps another 1,000+ in Marshalls and Gilberts mostly Helldivers, Mitchells, Liberators, P40N's, F4U's, P47's. 
 
Aircraft are NOT a problem I have more than I can easily deploy
 
With Midway still US then I can fly in more than enough fighters to Wake when it falls and then from Wake to Marcus and from Marcus to Iwo.
 
I have my 1st two sqns of P51D's arriving in Pearl in 15 days at which point I will have LR Interceptors available to deploy as well.
 
Andy
I will have plenty of aircraft to throw into the fight.

[Andy Mac]

OK my bombers flew today and torched Palembang

Follow up raids are ordered for tommorrow.

700,000 tonnes of supply have arrived in Singapore so its almost time to launch a few diversions.

I am going to try and supress AF's from Darwin and I will use Banja as my staging post

[Andy Mac]

OK my TF's have loaded
 
Wake Force is assembling at Midway
Marcus Force at French Frigate Shoals
Iwo Force at Johnson Island
 
Each TF is covered by a CVE and heavy DD force at present with lots of LCI (R)'s (G) and (M)'s for close in support
 
Basically each Force has c 200 ships and 50,000 men and tanks
 
My Carriers are in port trying to knock the last few sys points off of Tico before sailing.
 
Missouri has arrived at the West Coast bringing me up to 9 BB's (4 x Iowas, and 5 x Indiana, NC or SODAKS) so 9 very modern BB's
 
I also have a few Sumner class DD's which are looking even better than my Fletchers !!!  
 
Overall the fleet is assembling remember I want to get all the way to Iwo before PZB has time to react its all about Speed Speed Speed
 
Andy

[ny59giants]

Does PzB have any subs forming a picket line in that part of the Pacific to avoid??
It seems strange that he wouldn't.

Now, time for me to get some and enjoy the show. [:D]

[Andy Mac]

Na my long range Liberators on ASW have cleared a space around PH

I will move some carriers in deep on a raid to stop any reinforcement convoys getting through a TF will be forming up to leave in 2 days
