Also, the enemy bombs Kavieng again... Ki-45s and Zeros do a good job and losing just 1 Zero (pilot OK), shoot down 4 B-17s, AAA fire from the heavy flak unit I just moved in shoots 5th, and many B-17s and B-24s are damaged(about 40 of them in this attack) - 2 more are believed to not have made it home. They also dont hit too well, attacking the airfield again but failing to hit the few parked aircraft.
