RE: High value early game Japanese assets

In my game, Darwin is still getting pounded by air, and I can't get any time to repair or ship air units there. Since I have a good number of CVs with very experienced air groups, I was thinking of raiding Timor with the hopes of drawing out the 90 or so Bettys there and destroying them with my CAP, then sinking all shipping I can find in the area and fall back, while a convoy delivers aircraft and supplies to Darwin. The Japanese are so strong in the Solomons (pushed me all the way to Suva in '42) I was thinking of striking the DEI to deprive them of resources. Any thoughts on this strategy?
