Battle of the Visayan Sea, October 26, 1944.

Colleagues.
I am interested in the composition of the groups that sent escort aircraft carriers TG 77.4.1 and TG 77.4.2 to attack the cruiser KINU and destroyer URANAMI. This information
26 October 1944:
Visayan Sea, Jintotolo Channel. At 1020, KINU and URANAMI are attacked by 80-85 aircraft from two groups of Task Group 77.4's escort carriers.

I think it's greatly overstated.

Thanks Darius.
There is a lot of information here and it requires careful study.

Colleagues.
I don't have volume 12 of S.E. Morrison Leyte: June 1944 - Jan 1945. Perhaps the information I need, as well as similar information about the battle in Ormoc Bay on November 11, 1944, is there?

For Ormoc Bay, a start here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/139816701 and https://catalog.archives.gov/id/139816705. More here and following pages: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/78684811

Darius.
Thank you again. I found almost everything I needed from your link. There really were far fewer American planes than the original information indicated.
