Burma Raiders En Route Read Adventure Books
Dispatch recounts airborne invasion of Burma on the first troop transport night. Gen W Donald Od and crews landed near the Chindwin ahead of schedule, facing no fighters. Soldiers and Gurkhas formed lines as four C-47s landed in tight formation, while pilots operated under alert for enemy fire. An English steel worker read Jeffrey Farnell during the flight, and a brave crew repaired a damaged plane to continue evacuations. The airstrip became a busy shuttle with frequent takeoffs to India, until Japanese mortars and machine guns targeted the field.
