Myitkyina Falls as Kyina City Gains Strategic Airfields
The city of Kyina under Yoseph W. Stilwell saw control of two key airfields on the Ledo Burma route to China. Brig. Gen. Frank Merrill’s Marauders captured an all weather airfield south of the city on May 17 and, with airborne engineers and Chinese reinforcements, held the field against Japanese counterattack. Allied forces then began a campaign starving the Myitkyina garrison as the drive linked the new Ledo road with the Burma road. Myitkyina, population about 7,500, sits at the terminus of the trunk railway from Rangoon. With its fall, remaining Japanese forces are isolated and the logistics network in the region is disrupted.
