"Zero Fighters Over the Bay of Bengal: Air Group 331 in WWII"
by Richard Dunn

"During World War II, Japanese Zero fighters ranged far beyond the better-known battlefields of the Pacific, operating over the Bay of Bengal in defense of Japan’s southern resource area. This article examines the little-documented history of Imperial Japanese Navy Air Group 331, tracing its deployment from aircraft carrier Junyo to forward bases in Sumatra and the Andaman Islands, and its encounters with Allied aircraft during the air war over the eastern Indian Ocean in 1943–1944."
