Sentais in Indonesia

[HarvardIV]

Hi Folks:

I know these Sentais were based in Indonesia. Does anyone know the history of exactly where?

1st Sentai, 5th Sentai, 11th Sentai, 13th Sentai, 19th Sentai, 21st Sentai, 24th Sentai, 26th Sentai, 33rd Sentai, 54th Sentai, 59th Sentai, 64th Sentai, 68th Sentai, 77th Sentai, and the 87th Sentai.

The 68th had Ki-61s and was based on Halmahera Island possibly at Kao, Miti (Bobale), or Galela.

Thanks,

Chris

Just some bits and pieces gleaned from Henry Sakaida's JAAF book:

59th Sentai based on Java; Jan., 1943 (Ki-43 II)
59th Sentai based on Timor; June, 1943 (Ki-43 II)
(By July, 1943 the 59th had pretty much moved to New Guinea)

2nd Chutai/64th Sentai based at Palembang Airfield, Sumatra; Summer 1943 (Ki-43 II)

1st Chutai/33rd Sentai based at Gelunbang Airfield, Sumatra; Summer 1944 (Ki-43 II)
