Re: Stripped P-40s v. Dinahs over Australia
It would be very hard for 49th Group P-40's whether stripped or not to intercept Army Type 100 HQ recon planes (Ki 46/Dinah) over Darwin since the JAAF 3rd Flying Brigade and its long range recon element (70th Ind Sq) did not deploy to Timor until after the 49th left the area. The navy did not operate this army a/c in the area until well into 1943.
