Project 9: The Birth of the Air Commandos in World War II
あらすじ・解説
The Best History Book Award Winner (Air Power)
Project 9: The Birth of the Air Commandos in World War II is a thoroughly researched narrative of the Allied joint project to invade Burma by air. Beginning with its inception at the Quebec Conference of 1943 and continuing through Operation Thursday until the death of the brilliant British General Orde Wingate in March 1944, less than a month after the successful invasion of Burma, Project 9 details all aspects of this covert mission, including the selection of the American airmen, the procurement of the aircraft, the joint training with British troops, and the dangerous night-time assault behind Japanese lines by glider.
Tasked by the general of the Army Air Forces H.H. “Hap” Arnold to provide air support for British troops under the eccentric Major General Wingate as they operated behind Japanese lines in Burma, the air commandos were breaking entirely new ground in operational theory, tactics, and inter-Allied cooperation.
Okerstrom’s in-depth research and analysis in Project 9 shed light on the operations of America’s first foray into special military operations, when these heroes led the way for the formation of modern special operations teams such as Delta Force and Seal Team Six.
The book is published by University of Missouri Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
“This a splendid book about a little-reported-on corner of World War II.” (Air Power History)
