Sir, I did some cross referencing and strangely, Bunker Hill and Monterey altogether record 6 aircraft lost over Kavieng, attributed to ground-based AA fire on January 1st, then no losses recorded on January 3rd, and then Bunker Hill records an additonal aircraft lost on January 4 over Kavieng, from same cause.

Satsuki shooting down 11 planes sounds like someone's making things up and and making themselves look good on the record.

The single-day loss of 11 planes would show up on USN loss records, but they don't.

I would not take Japanese claims at face value at all. Those are the same guys who claimed to have sunk Enterprise 4 times, shot down over 1,000 American planes during the Turkey Shoot.

Rather, cross-reference and check each claims.
