After successfully hitting the airfield at Oosthaven yesterday, but taking great
damage at Batavia, I estimated the enemy would hit both Batavia and Bandoeng
today, and possibly Tjilitjap as well. Not needing to hit Oosthaven again, and out of range of the Palembang airbase complex, I withdrew Allied bombers from Bandoeng and Tjlitjap - and the few fighters (with great durability) operating on damaged Batavia - so the bombers could rest and build numbers (because hundreds of aircraft have arrived on Java and are repairing up at Soerabaja). I decided to concentrate fighter
defenses over Bandoeng and Tjilitjap. Both were socked in morning and afternoon - so the expected air battle(s) did not happen. But massive raids did come in over Batavia - where high quality British flak (supplimented by Dutch guns) took something of a toll. Batavia is substantially worse of than it was before. Recon, however, revised the damage estimate for Oosthaven inflicted by us much higher than it did the day before - never mind we flew no more strikes at it. We have a force approaching 300 bombers - over a third of them fast two engine types of medium range - and as of today - we now have drop tanks for US fighter planes. Most of the Aussie I (or one) corps is available for offensive operations, as are other formations. However, we see 386 fighters based at Palembang and 88 more at the larger airfield SW of it - a dauntingly large force. We also see battleships and supporting vessels arriving at Palembang (see today's reports) - a total of 113 ships in port and 2 more at sea according to recon today. As well, we learned the enemy has mined the port at the Northern end of Banka Island - by hitting one of them - today. Our effort to complicate supply, reinforcement or withdrawal of the corps on that island by mine warfare has run its course - and is now over. We did sink numbers of ships - and got a few troops - but the enemy now controls the port and may have cleared our extensive minefield.

We lost the enemy carrier force three days ago East of North Island, New Zealand. Today, however, we found tankers headed SW from a point midway between Noumea and Suva - and estimate it is headed to refuel the KB somewhere to the SW of that point.

There is a contest for air control over Western Java and Southern Sumatra.
But for two days in a row, most planes were unable to fly due to weather.
Today was exceptionally quiet. So both sides made progress toward bringing
their forward airfields back up - and the much anticipated fight over Bandoeng
airfield didn't happen. Not one bomber for either side flew, day or night! This
also means bomber and fighter units are rebuilding on both sides. It remains
to be seen which can gain the upper hand.

Retiring ABDA carriers - nearing NE Borneo - sank yet another transport task
force. Apparently the enemy thought it was safe to cross the South China
Sea on the South side while the carriers were up by Indochina. It didn't
work out well for the convoy - all of which was lost.

No enemy units are visible on New Caledonia. It appears recon from several
squadrons was unable to fly. No contact with KB or a presumed invasion group
in the South Seas either. But a tanker group spotted yesterday is still headed SW
from a point between New Caledonia and Fiji.

ALLIED Password NIMITZ
The battle to damage enemy airfields continued on both sides. Weather abated enough that both sides got in one good series of air strikes on an enemy field -
and the Allies managed a sea bombardment - while a Japanese heavy force was detected moving South - apparently with a similar objective. Air air and air ground combat went decidedly in favor of the Allies, however - who lost 24 total vise 199 Japanese aircraft - with numbers of valuable modern fighters and bombers lost on the ground.

Allied short range bombers struck (with effect) at ground troops at Oosthaven.
Allied medium range bombers struck (with effect) at Palembang. This latter
was apparently anticipated and opposed in strength by Zeros, Oscars, Tojos
and Mikes (copies of the Me-109E). There were virtually no aircraft on the ground (so it was hard to kill any on the ground). Both sides lost a total of 65 aircraft,
although some of these were in Burma and China. A large Allied amphib group, with a reinforced division, left for Timor to end the campaign there. A small one is forming up for an attack on Makassar so enemy bombers cannot use it as a base. These operations will enjoy significant naval support including carriers (of which there are five) and battleships (of which there are four).
