4 March 1942

DateMonday, March 4, 2013 at 9:19AM

Japanese air raid number 5 on Moresby: around 2.15pm 15 Jap bombers and 3 fighters line up and fly straight in to bomb 7-Mile Aerodrome, dropping about 55 bombs in 39th Battalion area alone.

Although the bombs were 250 & 500 lbs each, inaccuracy means they cause no casualties and only superficial damage.
