IJAAF Over New Guinea


Recommended Posts

Here's a link to a very interesting article covering the presence and effectiveness of Japanese air units over New Guinea.
https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/journal/j34/shindo

It tells a sorry tale of missed chances; non co-operation between the Army and Navy High command; poor intelligence; lack of a clear, concise strategy; piecemeal supply of aircraft and personnel; and ultimatley massive losses.

From the gamers point of view it provides great detail on units allocated (where and when), types of aircraft, missions types flown and demise dates for the air units involved.

All really important information to develop a fascinating air campaign over New Guinea! Hint, hint! 😁
