  • Air Raid Colombo, 5 April 1942: the Fully Expected Surprise Attack
    THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE JOURNAL VOL. 3 | NO. 4 FALL 2014 Air Raid Colombo, 5 April 1942: The Fully Expected Surprise Attack B Y RO B E R T S TUA R T Introduction n the morning of 5 April 1942, a force of 127 aircraft from the five aircraft carriers of Kido Butai (KdB), the Imperial Japanese Navy’s carrier task force, attacked Colombo, O the capital and principal port of the British colony of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). This was no bolt from the blue, however. The defenders had been preparing for weeks for just such an eventuality. Reconnaissance aircraft had detected KdB’s approach the previous afternoon and tracked it during the night. The defending aircraft and anti-aircraft (AA) guns had come to full readiness before first light and were supported by an operational radar station. The defending fighters were nevertheless still on the ground when the Japanese aircraft arrived and were not scrambled until the pilots themselves saw the attackers overhead. As a result, the defenders lost 20 of the 41 fighters that took off, while the Japanese lost only seven aircraft. So what happened? Was there a problem with the radar, did someone blunder, or was there some other explanation? This article is a first look into why the defenders were caught on the ground. Reinforcements On 7 December 1941, the air defences of Ceylon consisted of four obsolescent three-inch AA guns at Trincomalee. The only Royal Air Force (RAF) unit was 273 Squadron at China Bay, near Trincomalee, with four Vildebeests and four Seals, both of which were obsolete biplane torpedo aircraft.

  • This Remarkable Collection of Eight Coins Highlights Some of the Signature Moments in the Pacific Theater During the Second Wo Rld War
    This remarkable collection of eight coins highlights some of the signature moments in the Pacific Theater during the Second Wo rld War. As Nazi Germany wreaked havoc in Europe, the Japanese Empire, already at war with China, sought to expand its vast territorial reach. Japan hoped that by attacking the United States, it could convince the Americans to quickly come to terms and allow them free reign in the Pacific. This proved a fatal error, as the U.S. entered the war on both fronts, turning the tide toward the Allies. I. September 22, 1940: Invasion of French Indo-China The French colony of Indo-China, by now controlled by the Nazi puppet regime in Vichy, was attacked by Japan in order to shore up its position against its mainland foe, China; the two Asian nations had been at war since 1937. By seizing Tonkin, Japan was able to effectively tighten its naval blockade of China—and thus use its forces elsewhere in the region. II. December 7, 1941: Pearl Harbor On this “date that will live in infamy,” as President Franklin D. Roosevelt phrased it, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor. The Japanese surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor compelled the United States to enter the war. III. December 8, 1941: Invasion of Malaya Within 24 hours of its attack on the United States, Japan invaded Southeast Asia. After two years of existential war with Germany, European forces could offer only token resistance. British Malaya, in what is now Malaysia, fell to the Japanese, who sunk two British warships on December 10.

During the Pacific War, this powerful aircraft carrier and her name became famous throughout the conflict. However, SHOKAKU was actually the third ship given this name which literally means "the crane which floats in the sky" - an appropriate name for an aircraft perhaps, but hardly for the carrier herself! Zui-kaku. In Japan, the crane ('kaku') has been regarded as a lucky bird since ancient times. 'Zui' actually means 'very lucky' or 'auspicious'. ZUIKAKU participated in all major battles except for Midway, being the most active of all IJN carriers. Page 3. 23 August 1941.

  • CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA and ANZA CN the Second World
    CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA AND ANZA C N the second world war the democracies fought at an initial disadvan- Itage, though possessing much greater resources than their enemies . Britain and the United States had embarked on accelerated rearmamen t programs in 1938, the naval projects including battleships and aircraf t carriers ; but this was a delayed start compared with that of Germany an d Japan. Preparing for munitions production for total war, finding out wha t weapons to make, and their perfection into prototypes for mass produc- tion, takes in time upwards of two decades . After this preparation period, a mass production on a nation-wide scale is at least a four-years' task in which "the first year yields nothing ; the second very little ; the third a lot and the fourth a flood" .' When Japan struck in December 1941, Britai n and the British Commonwealth had been at war for more than two years . During that time they had to a large extent changed over to a war economy and increasingly brought reserve strength into play . Indeed, in 1940, 1941 and 1942, British production of aircraft, tanks, trucks, self-propelled gun s and other materials of war, exceeded Germany 's. This was partly due to Britain's wartime economic mobilisation, and partly to the fact that Ger- many had not planned for a long war. Having achieved easy victories b y overwhelming unmobilised enemies with well-organised forces and accumu- lated stocks of munitions and materials, the Germans allowed over- confidence to prevent them from broadening the base of their econom y to match the mounting economic mobilisation of Britain .
