Re: RAF & RAAF on Java, Netherlands Indies
Hello,
For the RAF, a good place to start is here: Eastward:A History of the Royal Air Force in the Far East 1945 - 1972 Lee, Sir David, Air Chief Marshal. London:HMSO.,1984. Most of the activity of the RAAF, in this area, at this time, was restricted to the repatriation of prisoners-of-war and humanitarian duties. Where you after anything in particular? Col. |

Re: RAF & RAAF on Java, Netherlands Indies
Also the overall UK official history volume from THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN series:
Major General S. Woodburn Kirby Vol. V: The Surrender of Japan I note that Naval & Military Press has a sale on and is selling the reprint edition of this volume for 14 quid. A useful history, marred by Woodburn Kirby's reluctance throughout all five volumes to admit when things went horribly wrong and explain why (which makes volume I about Singapore of limited utility).
