After a long series of crushing defeats by the apparently
unstoppable Japanese air and ground forces, the eventual fightback
and victory in Burma was achieved as a result of the exercise of
unprecedented combined services cooperation and operations. Crucial
to this was the Allies' supremacy in the air coupled with their
ground/air support strategy. Using veterans' first-hand accounts,
Air Battle For Burma reveals the decisive nature of Allied air
power in inflicting the first major defeat on the Japanese Army in
the Second World War. Newly equipped Spitfire fighter squadrons
made the crucial difference at the turning point battles of the
Admin Box, Imphal and Kohima in 1944. Air superiority allowed
Allied air forces to deploy and supply Allied ground troops on the
front line and raids deep into enemy territory with relative
impunity; revolutionary tactics never before attempted on such a
scale. By covering both the strategic and tactical angles, through
these previously unpublished personal accounts, this fine book is a
fitting and overdue tribute to Allied air forces' contribution to
victory in Burma.
