Weather and Monsoon Trials on Allied Airfields in War
Monsoon forced airfields to endure extreme heat up to 150 degrees in aircraft, with crews battling sweltering interiors and explosive risk. Dust storms, floods, and ground crew work by day pressed fighters to maintain supply lines, using second line units to defend captured sites as Japanese forces retreated across Burma, Manipur, and Rangoon.

War Council fate debated after war plans discussed
Debates focus on whether to abandon Curtin’s war council concept or modify it for peace. Proposals include a semi annual National Defence Committee with service ministers and federal officers, plus cross party talks on foreign policy and defense. The disbandment this week prompts evaluation of postwar structures and international relations strategy.
