Strikes on southern Indochina
edit,_near_Juinhon,_French_Indochina,_12_January_1945.jpg)
The burning tanker in the image is the Imperial Japanese Navy's Ayayuki Maru. See List of shipwrecks in January 1945#12 January. The coordinates given in the picture tie them together as this was the only tanker sunk at that location. Mjroots (talk) 17:25, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Seasons
editWhat is "northern spring"? --The Huhsz (talk) 20:13, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Spring in the northern hemisphere. I've tweaked this to 'second quarter of 1945' given that the article also covers areas with tropical climates. Nick-D (talk) 07:56, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
A little problem
editIn "Attack on Hong Kong and southern China", it says "The fort of Dona Maria II (22.203°N 113.555°E) was also attacked". However, some sources1,2 indicated that the fort (aka Fortaleza de D. Maria II, 馬交石炮台 in Chinese) was bombed by US Air Force planes on 16 January 1943, rather than 16 January 1945. Could anyone help to check the authenticity, please? Regards.--SilverReaper (talk) 04:00, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
