AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 03/10/42
It doesn't have to took off from Bombay! He has Ademadabad and Jaipur which are closer...and today we had the proove of it!
25 P-40s lost over Karachi and Manila in A2A combats, against only 6 Oscars...[:o] My planes were flown by my best experienced crews...65 exp of average...no match for the zeros!
He started to sweep Karachi in the morning. I had moved all my planes to Malir but a bunch of my pilots decided however to defend the Indian Capital, probably because they have their bitches there and they decided to not follow my orders and got clobbered by the zeros...[:@]
At the same time the KB is advancing with the BBs...tomorrow the weather is forecasted as stormy...so i kept my planes at Malir...simply no reasons to stay at Karachi to die from NUKE-BBs while they cannot fly back because of the clouds...
Then in the afternoon 70 fighters sweept manila. Again bad results...the days of Manila are gone. Evacuation is ordered towards China...without my fighter force i cannot keep my bombers there...he has brought 17 units at Luzon!!! He wants clearly to build up bases for his bombers to start reducing Manila base...oh well, sooner or later this would have happened...
