The RAF Regiment was created in the early years of World War II for the
active dedicated defence of RAF airfields and installations. This books
concerns the Regiments operational history in South-east Asia Command
and draws on the diaries and recollections of the men who served in
that theatre. It is strongly supported by maps and diagrams from
official records. The Regiment played a vital and significant role in
the two major battles for Burma, Imphal and Meiktila. The struggle at
Imphal ranks alongside Stalingrad and Alamein in its significance for
the defeat of the Axis. From humble beginnings, the Regiment in Burma
had by 1945 become a highly-trained specialist ground force capable of
defensive and offensive action. The successes of the 14th Army were
founded on the support of the transport, fighter and bomber squadrons.
The RAF could not have done this as effectively without the confidence
that its airfields and vital installations were safe under the constant
vigilance of the RAF Regiment.
