Paxton succeeded. at the cost of

that the Japs again fractured the

JAPS FEEL SECURE
After the first few unchallenged
night raids. the Japs' feeling of
security was so extreme that they
came at around 5000 feet, with
riding lights glowing. They would
cruise for a while. searching for
target in the blackout below.
Soon a series Of blood-red flashes
would light up the horizon, reveal
ing the sinister shapes of the ma
rauderS overhead. Seconds later
would come the rumble OF the
blasts rafting all the doors and
windows in the city.
The Japs followed the phases of
the moon meticulously, the first
wave OF bombers arriving over
Rangoon exactly 40 minutes later
each night.
The Tigers longed for a crack

this foreknowledge Of their sched-
