Thanks! Just caught the second half of the Chindits programme.. will view it fully on iplayer... no doubt it will be in the 'history' section. Simpson mentioned aerial attack by Mustangs and showed an old bomb crater. He lamented the effect of the Commonwealth/Jap fighting on the Burmese civilians... there must have been casualties when Jap-held villages were bombed. Such was part of the sorry price for the Japanese invading Burma. Civilians died, but at least Burma eventually gained its freedom.
