More Droning

THU 5 OCT 1944
Pacific
Special Air Task Force (STAG 1) operations continue in Southwest Pacific as four TDRs, each carrying a 2,000-pound bomb, are launched against Japanese supply caves in the Keravia Bay, Rabaul, area. One TDR hits in the vicinity of cave entrances; one misses the target area. Two are lost en route due to interference from communications frequency used by motor gunboat (PGM) operating in the waters over which the drones fly.

Submarine Cod (SS-224) sinks Japanese merchant cargo ship Tatsuhiro Maru in South China Sea west of Mindoro, 13°06'N, 120°15'E.
