Ki43s over 'Broadway' March 17th 1944

Hi

Im just wondering if anyone has details on the Units that fought an action over the allied forward base known as 'Broadway' on March 17th 1944.

The base was North of Myiykyina on the Irrawaddy river and was used to support Chindits in the area.

In the Particular action Im interested in Alan Peart in a MkVIII Spitfire was alone against 24 K43s and fought them off for 40 minutes until they broke off the fight.

I'm keen to know the markings on the Japanese aircraft who were likely involved.

Any help would be great
