History of the CENTRAL BURMA 1945 Battle Streamer
In January 1945, Allied forces achieved a crucial victory in northern Burma, spanning 280 miles from Minbya to Kunlong. Supported by the RAF and AAF, the Tenth Air Force played a vital role, ensuring reinforcements and supplies reached the front lines. February witnessed the evacuation of over 3,000 casualties, showcasing Allied resilience. The withdrawal of Japanese air forces marked a turning point, securing air supremacy. In March, coordinated advances by British, Fourteenth Army, and Chinese forces strategically outmaneuvered the Japanese, leading to the successful encirclement and fall of Mandalay on March 21. The Allies' determination, aided by air attacks and artillery, showcased Lt. Gen. Sir William J. Slim's tactical brilliance. As preparations for an amphibious assault on Rangoon unfolded, Tenth Air Force bombers targeted enemy positions, culminating in the recapture of Burma by May 3. The campaign's success, attributed to air superiority and effective transport, marked a significant chapter in World War II.
