Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Dutch Naval Air
Force--or Marine Luchtvaart Dienst (MLD)--played a significant but
largely overlooked role in the opening months of the Pacific War.
With 175 aircraft, the MLD greatly outnumbered the combined forces
of its American and British allies. In three months of intense
combat, the MLD lost 50 percent of its personnel and 80 percent of
its aircraft, as the Netherlands' colonial empire was stripped
away. This book details MLD operations during the Japanese invasion
of Dutch East Indies, giving a comprehensive overview of
organization, personnel, aircraft, equipment and tactics. For the
first time in English, the failed evacuation of Java is examined.
