Battle of Imphal
For the next 7 months, 20 Squadron operated in turn from Nidania (codenamed ‘George’), Madhaibunia (codenamed ‘Hove’) and Chiringa, all in the North-West of Burma.  As the only squadron equipped with Hurricane IIDs in country, its primary targets were enemy armour, although most attacks were carried out against Lines of Communication, such as river boats and trucks.  In April 1944, 20 Squadron detached a Flt to Lankipatti to fly anti-tank sorties during the Battle of Imphal.
