  • The Direct Air Support During the Battle of the Java Sea, As Seen from the Allied Side (2015, Revised May-June 2016, Revised July-August 2016)
    The direct air support during the Battle of the Java Sea, as seen from the allied side (2015, revised May-June 2016, revised July-August 2016) © Dr. P.C. Boer Introduction [1] After a failed air campaign fought in the period of 18 February up to and including 27 February 1942 the allied forces in Java, former Netherlands East Indies, had only one instrument left to try to prevent a Japanese invasion of Java, the Combined Striking Force (CSF) of the combined allied navies. The battle of the Java Sea between the CSF, a naval squadron consisting of cruisers and destroyers from The Netherlands, United States, United Kingdom and Australia commanded by Rear-Admiral K.W.F.M. Doorman and a Japanese war fleet led by Rear-Admiral Takagi Takeo on 27 February 1942 is well known, as is its outcome. Less well known is the fact that during the larger part of the so- called day fight of the battle the allied air forces of the joint combined Java Air Command (JAC) succeeded in keeping up a local air superiority with 15 fighters from Ngoro in eastern Java. The number of 15 consisted of 10 Curtiss P-40Es of 17 Pursuit Squadron Provisional, 17 PS (P), of the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) and five Brewster 339 fighters of the Militaire Luchtvaart KNIL (ML/KNIL, Army Aviation Corps of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army) detached to this squadron from Andir in western Java. Also little known is the activities of the allied and Japanese cruiser reconnaissance and artillery spotting planes.
