Australia attacks the sz around Java with a navy including AC and also attack Java itself with amphibious assault. They win the battle and the AC is damaged. However, a plane that is attacking Java territory was depending on it to land. What happens to this plane?

Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 21, Noncombat Move Phase:
“Stranded defending air units also land during this phase.
These are carrier air units whose aircraft carrier has been
damaged or destroyed in combat … . These units
are allowed movement of up to one space to find a friendly
territory or carrier on which to land. If no landing space can
be found, they are lost. This movement occurs before the
acting player makes any noncombat movements.” -
