Description
The Air Commando concept was first employed in the trackless jungles of Burma in 1944, where Wingate's British Army operated behind Japanese lines, completely cut off from other Allied units, and supported only by air. Eventually seven Air Commando fighter squadrons served in the CBI and the Western Pacific campaign. This book looks at this unique group.
