A twin engined Japanese bomber was destroyed and Allied losses were two fighters and one bomber. Prior attacks on Lae and Selamaua hit airfields and anti aircraft positions. Allied planes also attacked a Japanese cruiser at sea. Australian and US officers conduct an exchange to harmonize training methods for mobile warfare in the ongoing desert and jungle campaigns.
