One by one the British paratroopers began their drop from the Dakota flying high over the Burmese jungle. Watching them go was Sergeant Rusty Miller.

Providing support for a bunch of hard-pressed troops in the thick jungle wasn’t easy for even a crack squadron of Thunderbolts. In fact, it would have been well-nigh impossible but for the efforts of Tony Norton. Although he was a fine pilot, Tony was on the ground right now, fighting alongside the soldiers and sending […]
