The War Department disclosed
today that the air-borne invasion of
Japanese-held Burma by British
forces and American airmen was
planned at the Quebec conference
of President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Churchill and. Anglo American
military leaders last August.
The official announcement of the
planning and carrying out of the
invasion last month served to en-
phasize the long interval necessary
to blueprint, train and equip the
complicated operations of World
War lin this instance almost
eight months.
The idea Of having specially
trained "air commando force" fly
the jungle fighters of Maj. Gen.
Orde c. Wingate over the heads of
the enemy and land them behind
the japanese lines was inspired by
Gen. Wingate's earth-bound expedi-
ton into Burma in the spring of
1913, the department said. Gen.
Wingate's columns in that operation
were supplied by air--the new idea
was to take them in by air, supply
them and literally set up a beach,
head in the interior, rather than on
the edge Of enemy territory. (Gen.
Wingate's death in a plane was an
nounced recently.)
Arnold Gets Go-Ahead Signal.
Gen. H. H. Arnold, AAF COM
mander, was given the go-ahead by
the Quebec conferees. His first ac-
ton was to appoint Col. Philip G.
Cochran and Col. John r. Alison,
both already famous veterans of air
fighting, to organize the mission and
to issue this one terse order:
ITO hell with paper work. Go out
and fight"
In Washington hotel room,
the two colonels began creating the
air commando force, then flew to
England to coordinate their air
plans with Gen. Wingate's ideas.
