antarmike Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Allied forces cross the Irrawaddy River and take the crucial airfield of Meiktila in central Burma. The airfield is defended against strong Japanese counter-attacks by the RAF Regiment, enabling supplies and reinforcements to be flown in.

antarmike Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) http://www.rafregiment.net/RAF_Regt_Battle.htm Well he we go again, the 1st Feb date is taken from RAF's official time line, but RAF regiment history says Airfield wasn't taken until 5th March. I wasn't there, I don't know, take your pick of the dates.... Also worth a look, click on the Armoured Car Squadron link http://www.rafregiment.net/Armoured_car_companies.htm Edited February 1, 2009 by antarmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
