10 March 1942

Japanese forces land at Finschhaven aiming to take that town and nearby Salamaua to protect their recently captured forward base at Lae.

Tenth air raid on Moresby just before noon for about half an hour, with six planes attacking from about 11,000 feet and dropping about 40 bombs, mainly along the south side of the aerodrome.

No serious damage, no casualties.
