Salamaua Near Fall As Allies Resurge In New Guinea
Allied forces push toward Salamaua air base in New Guinea as heavy bombardment targets supply depots at Hansen Bay. U S and Australian troops advance within reach of the airstrip while Japanese positions at Bairoko harbor weaken under artillery and infantry pressure. Mountbatten meets U S generals to outline a fourfold plan to reopen the Burma road, aid China, secure southern Asian ports, and boost Allied air power in China. DeWitt calls for a swift, massive blow on Japan to sever supplies and retake the Philippines.
