The new year got off to a poor start with a day of rain and low clouds, saved only by an unusual and pleasant coolness in the air. Most of our planes were on the other side of the mountains overnight, having landed at Dobodura because this side was closed in. No flying here, and when Capt. Wright and his flights got back, they had much of interest to tell about the “other side.” During their night over there, 50 Japs got out of Buna and headed southeast, toward Dobodura and Oro Bay. So the boys slept, when at all, with their 45’s in their hands.
