History of the EAST INDIES 1942 Battle Streamer
During World War II, the Japanese expanded their occupation to Malaya and attacked The Netherlands East Indies. The United States, Great Britain, Australia, and The Netherlands collaborated to defend the East Indies from Java. Allied air operations from Java faced challenges like enemy advances, tropical weather, and logistical issues. Despite shortages, the Allied Air Forces courageously defended Java, facing the Japanese capture of key locations. The campaign witnessed the evacuation of Jogjakarta Air Base and the surrender of The Netherlands East Indies to Japan. Allied military operations remained minimal until the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, where a crucial victory boosted their morale. The Allies continued to face air attacks in Port Moresby, defending it with obsolete aircraft. The Battle Streamer commemorates the resilience and bravery of the Allies in the Southwest Pacific during this pivotal chapter of World War II.
