Aircraft present at Port Moresby during Coral Sea battle

Post by jalsina1 »

WIPAE Coral Sea scenery does not show the right aircraft composition at Port Moresby.

In May 1942 during the Coral Sea battle, there were no Wirraway´s in Port Moresby. Battered RAAF 75th Sqd with P-40E´s, waere being readied to be sent to Townsville for a a rest and rebuilt. 75th had become one of the most powerful factors to stop Japanese in their pursuit for Port Moresby, during a good part of March and all April.
Also, during the late days of April 1942, the first US Army P-39´s had been deployed in Port Moresby. They were intended to continue the 75th task until new P-40E´s arrived later to defend New Guinea.
