Burma WW2
Hi,
A gentlemen I met earlier this year was a former DC2 pilot who flew out of Peshwar and Khota in 1944!He had a couple of intersting accounts especially one about test flying a Vickers Valencia the ground crew put in a flying condition after the a/c had sat in a hangar for many years !He was with a 27 squadron .
In the South-East Asian Theatre, the Beaufighter Mk VIF operated from India on night missions against Japanese lines of communication in Burma and Thailand. The high-speed, low-level attacks were highly effective, despite often atrocious weather conditions .
Look out for the Areoplane March,April and May editions 2007 which you should find interesting!
