Burma, too
Mike,
Interesting, thanks: wonder where they were flying from. There were also US bombing raids over Burma, too, eg the Bawdwin Mine and processing plant and the airfield at Lashio in north-east Burma. The mining company tried to claim damages post war. Mike

It says they were operating from Philipines. A pretty long haul to bomb a few factories. I suppose it was as much a demonstration as achieving any strategically significant result. They could well have been Indian based B-29's. This is interesting reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Matterhorn Lang Last edited by Lang; 03-02-23 at 23:37.
