IS. CCS 41, 16 Feb. 1942, lists the
strength of Allied forces present in the
area, en route to the area, and projected
for the future. This shows that British
forces were concentrated in Burma,
Malaya, Sumatra, and Borneo. The Aus-
tralians had ground forces not only in
Malaya but also in some of the islands
in the southern East Indies. Timor and
Amboina, for example, each had an Aus-
tralian battalion. A part of the RAAF
aircraft strength was said to be “obsoles-
cent,’’ but it also included several
squadrons of Catalinas and Hudsons. A
considerable number of Hurricanes were
flown from Malaya to Sumatra upon the
fall of Singapore. Some of these later
reached Java.
