1 September 1943
US landings underway at Namlea
Japan
USS Tuna came across a lone minetender, in the open ocean east of Okinawa, on ASW patrol and destroyed it with a torpedo hit.
Burma
George fighters swept Pegu, shooting down 5 P-40s, with 3 losses.
Enemy tanks crossed the river from Rangoon to Bassien. I only have a few paratroopers here so they can probably take it from me. I don't really see the benefit of doing so, though.
DEI
George fighters swept Boela, shooting down 3 P-47s while taking just 1 loss.
I have an amphibious task force unloading at Namlea, which is just west of Ambon. I'll probably go north from here, once I have a good sized airbase set up here.
B-25s and PBYs attempted naval strike missions on what I presume to be ASW task forces, but failed to locate their targets.
SouthPAC
Beaufort bombers flying out of Shortlands reported bombing a Japanese sub.
Dutch sub KXIV was bombed near Truk and is returning to base for repairs.
