1944 May 14 WWII Yank Magazine British Edition Burma Air Invasion FL4
Behind Japanese Lines In BURMA-Coasting down by moonlight onto an abandoned rice paddy. 150 miles behind Jap lines. in the very center of enemy-occupied Burma. glider-borne U. S. Air Commandos carried out one of the most daring all-aerial operations in history.
The American-piloted gliders, carrying U. S. airborne aviation engineers and a protecting British force of the famous Wingate's Raiders. landed in a jungle clearing that was rutted by buffalo bogs and elephant footprints and strewn with massive teakwood logs.
Twenty-four hours later the rice paddy was one of the world's busiest airstrips. Working all night and all dav with engineering equipment flown in by the gliders, the U.S. engineers con structed a graded, well-lighted runway for U.S. and RAF transport planes.
