Castor finally decided to land at Mersing. 34 units, well this can problem.
This rather confirm as I suspect that he is planning overextend, otherwise not reason to send all to capture Singapore so fast.
36 Oscars swept empty sky over Clark. The last squadron there is on training mission.
4 Kingfishers escorted by 4 P-26A scored 2 250lbs SAP hits on Japanese destroyer
Harukaze. Pilot's report suggest that ship is on fire.
And Dutch units at Sambas did not hold even one more day

.
I am organizing Java defence. Main point of resistance will be place in mountains at Bandoeng. I have learned hard way that urban hex it is not enough to hold IJA for while.
Force Z and Brit cruisers are heading back to Soerabaja for refuel. US navy ships were send down to Darwin, I have there some fuel.
I have 9 Dutch subs at Mersing and around no luck at all. Lot of D3A on search mission does not help. I have sent a few fighters to provide air cover for my subs. But result are not as good as I had hopes. Just one dive bomber down by air cover and in return I have got heavy fatigue level for involved squadrons

.
OK, As advised 18th British Division is going to Bombay right now. 41st US Division is moving to Cape Town. 24th will be moved to Suva and 25th US will be moved to Sydney, of course all this will happen when I will have enough PP to buy them out.
Training camp for army pilots is set at March field. There is over 200 fighter pilots and 150 bomber pilots training now.
Training camp for USMC is set at San Diego, 100 fighters pilots and 200 bombers.
However still not way to train US Navy pilots
