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. All went well until it was the last man’s turn to jump — Private Jason Jones. And Jason had a private feud with Miller, a quarrel that never let up. […]
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 […]
