Commanding Far Eastern Skies

Focusing on the air war in Burma during 1941-1945, the book explores the critical role of air power in achieving and maintaining air superiority against the Japanese. It details the Allies' initial losses due to inadequate resources and tactics, followed by their eventual recovery and dominance by 1945. The analysis includes the impact of Japanese industrial capabilities and their broader Pacific strategy on the conflict's air operations. Additionally, it critiques existing historiography and presents previously unpublished insights to enrich the understanding of this often-overlooked campaign.
