As the cover states, this hugely impressive and weighty book delves into the strategy, command and operations of the US Tenth Air Force from 1942-45. And what a work it is! The author has seemingly left no stone unturned in his quest to provide as much detail as possible about this fascinating numbered air force, which was created to drive the Japanese out of the China-Burma-India theatre... Via insightful narrative, personal accounts of those who were there, useful maps and graphs, and myriad (mostly excellent) photos, the full story is imparted in ultra-fine detail Not enough books deal with aerial fighting beyond the European theatre of World War Two, so this exhaustive account of the Tenth AF is most welcome ... and is almost certainly the last word on the subject. -- FlyPast Magazine, May 2021

During World War II, flying B-24 Liberator bombers on missions deep into Burma, B-25 Mitchell bombers attacking Japanese lines of communications, and P-40 Warhawks, P-47 Thunderbolts, and P-51 Mustangs flying close support for General Joseph Stilwell’s Chinese and American forces in northern Burma, the Tenth Air Force worked closely with the squadrons of the Royal Air Force to push the Japanese out of Burma. The first comprehensive history of the Tenth Air Force and the Army Air Forces, India-Burma sector, this book covers these operations in the context of Allied strategic objectives for prosecuting the war in China and Southeast Asia.
