520    After a long series of crushing defeats by the apparently 
       unstoppable Japanese air and ground forces, the eventual 
       fight back and victory in Burma was achieved as a result 
       of the exercise of unprecedented combined services 
       cooperation and operations.  Crucial to this was the 
       Allies’ supremacy in the air coupled with their 
       ground/air support strategy.Using veterans’ 
       firsthand accounts, Air Battle For Burma reveals the 
       decisive nature of Allied air power in inflicting the 
       first major defeat on the Japanese Army in the Second 
       World War.  Newly equipped Spitfire fighter squadrons made
       the crucial difference at the turning point battles of the
       Admin Box, Imphal and Kohima in 1944.  Air superiority 
       allowed Allied air forces to deploy and supply Allied 
       ground troops on the front line and raids deep into enemy 
       territory with relative impunity; revolutionary tactics 
       never before attempted on such a scale.By covering both 
       the strategic and tactical angles, through these 
       previously unpublished personal accounts, this fine book 
       is a fitting and overdue tribute to Allied air forces&
       rsquo; contribution to victory in Burma.  EPUB3:
