Eek, what happened to the RN?  Sent out without CAP? 

kaleun · Post by **kaleun** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 6:52 pm

The only cap available are spits out of Port Blair. They are just not enough for the long range Jap bombers out of Bangkok. The local airfields have been pounded to dust by allied bombers.
