History of the Tenth Air Force Coming in June 2020

(Schiffer Military History - June 28, 2020)
by Edward M. Young
416 pages w/ 486 b&w images and maps

"During World War II, flying B-24 Liberator bombers on missions deep into Burma, B-25 Mitchell bombers attacking Japanese lines of communications, and P-40 Warhawks, P-47 Thunderbolts, and P-51 Mustangs flying close support for General Joseph Stilwell's Chinese and American forces in northern Burma, the Tenth Air Force worked closely with the squadrons of the Royal Air Force to push the Japanese out of Burma.

The first comprehensive history of the Tenth Air Force and the Army Air Forces, India-Burma sector, this book covers these operations in the context of Allied strategic objectives for prosecuting the war in China and Southeast Asia."

Re: History of the Tenth Air Force Coming in June 2020

This is a very interesting, and poorly covered, subject. Will keep a keen eye out for it.
