Bombers in Burma


Pom Pax's post #6460 refers to a Google Book that can be read online, this book among other things mentions US American Volunteer Group (AVG) P-40s based at Toungoo (Rangoon?) escorting Lysanders to bomb Moulmein in February 1942.



According to an Indian Air Force historical website a Lysander could carry a 250lb bomb on the undercarriage winglets, seems a lot but that's what they say.
See here for photos of IAF Lysanders in 1941 - 43:
