VMO-251 had claims that day, but I cannot document the time. I show one victory for the 67th FS (not credited by the USAFHRA today) between 1635 and 1920. There are no claims for the USN. The USMC claimed 22/1/0 for the day; VMSB-131 claimed two Zeros (time unknown), VMF-251 claimed 5/1/0 (time unknown--1 bomber, 1 Betty, 3/1/0 Zeros), and VMF-112 claimed 15 at 1300 (a mix of Zeros and dive bombers).

Enjoy!

Frank.
