Additional long distance fighters are available in Burma, so that the daily Akyab bombing should soon be a milk run no longer. Also the P40 N is now available, and South Wes Pac units have 1st priority on the new fighters. The Japanese wave will soon be pushed back to its shores!

Meanwhile, two enemy TFs are prowling around the Carolines. One of them seems to have a large carrier (at least one) and a number of CS for naval search. It soes not seem like they want to blunder into anything.

The problem with the three pphase plan is of course that it takes forever to get all the neccessary ingredients, the "mise en place" if you will assembled. At thsi rate, the war will be over before we get around to winning it.

These guys had been ordered to attack for days[8|] During that time, there were P38s available for escort, but these guys were too busy drinking their tea to attack. Yesterday I decide that since they are not going to attack at all, I might as well use the P38s to fly long range CAP over Akyab, (with good results, I'd say), but I forget to turn these guys to other duties.
Guess what[:@] Today is the day they attack unescorted

I am still trying to rearrange the LCU so they all match up. Meanwhile, for no good reason, a fragment of a carrier fighter group decides to resurrect in MADANG[X(], I don't really know what to do with it, so I'm trying to get it back to Frisco or elsewhere to see if it will grow if I stick it on a carrier[8|]
