The overall situation led to dissatisfaction and poor morale among No. 1 TAF personnel based on Morotai, particularly the Spitfire pilots who had little opportunity for the air-to-air combat they specialised in and whose aircraft were ill-suited to ground attack missions.
Situasi secara keseluruhan menimbulkan ketidakpuasan dan semangat yang rendah di kalangan personel No. 1 TAF yang berpangkalan di Morotai, terutama para pilot Spitfire yang jarang berkesempatan melakukan pertempuran udara yang dikuasainya dan dilengkapi pesawat yang tidak cocok untuk misi serangan darat.
