Тем временем нашел кое чего здесь.
VMF-211's 12 F4F
http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USMC...-M-Wake-2.html
Там осанна первая атака 7 8 декабря. Первая атака Японских бомбардировщиков .
"At 1158, First Lieutenant Lewis, commanding Battery E at Peacock Point, chanced to look skyward just in time to see a V of 12 strange aircraft heading over a point just midway between Camp 1 and Peacock Point. He jumped for a field telephone connected to the "J"-line as a spray of bright sparks began to sail through the air ahead of the formation, and, as one civilian exclaimed, "the wheels dropped off the airplanes." Japanese bombs were falling on Wake."
Just one hour and 50 minutes after the PBY took off, 29 bombers and 18 fighters arrived over the island, and this time there was a more ominous aspect about them. They were carrier types, indicating that new weight had been introduced to soften up the island defenses. Three hours later, 33 bombers from Roi arrived and reduced the AA defenses of the island to a total of only four three-inch guns left of the original 12. The two F4Fs were still serviceable.

То есть на 8 декабря осталось 4 самолета остальные были уничтожены бомбежкой .Далее считаем подбитые самолеты/
"At 1145 on the 9th, the second raid hit but this time there
was fighter opposition to flame one bomber, and antiaircraft (AA) fire to get another. However, the damage was again severe. When the enemy came again on the 10th, Captain Elrod got two bombers, but the flight of 26 Japanese planes hit a supply of dynamite and set off all the three-inch and five- inch ready ammunition at one AA battery and one seacoast battery nearby."
"Less than four hours after the landing attempt was thwarted, 30 bombers were again over the island. Lieutenants Kinney and Davidson hit them, with Davidson
getting two, Kinney
damaging another, and AA knocking down one and damaging three more. On the 12th, an early raid by flying boats was met by Capt. Tharin,
who shot down one of the two four-engined aircraft. There was no further raid until the 14th, when the early seaplane raid was repeated, followed by the return of the 30 bombers from Roi at 1100. The raid killed two Marines and wounded a third, and also made a direct bomb hit on one of the two remaining fighters."
"On December 22nd, Freuler and Davidson had the morning patrol, when 33 bombers and six fighters arrived from the carriers. Capt. Freuler
managed to get one of the fighters but, in so doing, debris and flames from his target disabled his plane. As he headed back, wounded in the shoulder, to attempt a forced landing on the strip, he caught a last glimpse of Davidson with enemy fighters on his tail. Freuler crash-landed his burning aircraft on the field, but Davidson was not seen again. Now the island was without aircraft and the remaining personnel of VMF-211 joined the defense battalion as infantrymen."
Если я не ошибаюсь 6 подбитых и один поврежденный вражеский самолет практически двумя четырьмя котами.
