The 84th Airdrome Squadron landed at Hollandia, New Guinea on May 13th 1944. They took over operations of the Cyclops Drome on May 21st and maintained sole operations of that field until June 20th 1944 when they were also given responsibility for Sentani Drome as well.
In May of 1944 the 84th “began the painstaking task of rebuilding a Japanese ‘Oscar’ which has been turned over to it by the Air Corps Technical Intelligence Unit” according to the unit history. The rebuild of this aircraft would take the unit better than two months to complete.
According to the Unit history the unit worked simultaneously on two different Oscars and a single Ki-61 “Tony” during their time in Hollandia. To this point no documentation on the Tony has been unearthed but the Oscars have been well photographed and documented.
