Allied Bombers Sink Jap Destroyer and Cargo Ships
Allied bombers sank a destroyer and two small cargo ships off the northern New Guinea coast near Aitape in a Monday night strike aimed at hindering Japan from reinforcing Wewak. The action, part of a wider campaign, also saw five-ship convoy losses near Sunday, with 2500 tons of cargo destroyed. Ground and air actions across New Guinea and nearby islands continued, including operations at Madang, Bogadjim, Emirau, and Bougainville.
