While the armored flight deck would limit the size of the air wing, the Illustrious proved to be quite durable, enduring a savage bombing escorting convoys near Malta, and later kamikaze attacks in the Pacific. She most well known for carrying out the attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto

This week’s episode is all about air power in Burma - Rob and I give an overview for the whole campaign, as always, we will return to the topic in future series.
For part of Ep9 Flying Tigers to Dakotas, Jack and Rob look at the American Volunteer Group - the Flying Tigers! Commanded by Chennault, who was mentioned in relation to bombing in Ep7, they were effectively mercenaries supporting China. In 1942 they supported the RAF during the retreat from Burma.

Some damn remarkable flying out there. A wholly different prospect to Europe. SOE/Force 136 couldn't have done it without the RAF & USAAF, nor could the Chindits, or 14 Army. Here's something I said earlier:

1 Two days trips completed in the last few days. One with Colin on Wednesday and then another with Mag today.
Some of the memorials I visited. First, the memorial to Platt and Billington of 8 Para - probably murdered by von Luck's men

Friday at 7pm I’m on @ww2tv.bsky.social for Thunder Run Meiktila 1945 - 80 years ago the campaign in and around Meiktila raged from 21 Feb to 28(ish) of March.
One thing I’ll argue was that it was the greatest all-arms manoeuvre battle of the Second World War!
