Gentlemen,

352nd Sortie One:
From centralized base 80 we attempted to fein a move to the west and 77 to south 93 areas to draw or show an attack to those areas while our buffs headed to the SSE and the 103-105 areas.
While there the hope of a CV to land on and have air dominance to take landings in Milne bay.
A long escort ensued with no opposition.
I released an element back to 80 and then sent rest to 80.
While enroute CV showed up and attacks by the enemy on the CV began.
Three of our Group reversed back to the carrier and started CAP OPs.
Claims were approx 4+ for the loss of 1.
Meanwhile at 80 the element met 7+ fighters and bombers hitting 79-80 and other posts in that area.
3+ claims for the loss of 1 reported.

Split 352nd Sortie 2 and above:
CV CAP remained and 2+ claims made when enemy seemed to give up contest.
CV flight began move back to 80. During move an enemy was sighted at 105 and shot down.
Squamates at 80 continued to battle superior forces and helped keep bases active for the rejoining group members.
Upon arrival 80 areas Group formed and claimed 3+ agains airacobras.

Sunset raids:
the evening approached and cobras remained in the emperors land so we attacked as best could.
We followed them over the mountains and had a few encounters midway to the gaijin base with 1 claim made.
Foolishly some attacked the cluster of bases and we lost 2 for 1 claim there.

Claims 14+
Losses 5+
