ALLIED AIR TRANSPORT
OPERATIONS
SOUTH WEST PACIFIC AREA IN WWII
Volume Three:- 1943 - Air transport approaches full strength
by Robert H. Kelly
 |
After more than 20 years of
research and writing, author Bob Kelly is pleased to present
this third of five volumes. The series is unique in that no
comprehensive history of the air transport effort in the Pacific in WWII
has ever been written before – over 1500 planes and thousands of
personnel were involved in transporting supplies and troops within the
South West Pacific Area (SWPA). This Volume covers the continual build-up of air transport with the arrival of the US 375th, 403rd and 433rd Troop Carrier Groups. He also reveals the extent of military chartered aircraft from the Australian and US civil airline companies. This is an authoritative reference book and is an essential reference for any military historian. It also will serve as a source of valuable information for others such as students, aviation enthusiasts and genealogists. Before this series of Volumes there was very little information on the troop carrier units and certainly not in this amount of detail and information. These books also serve to inform people that behind the fighter and bomber units there were brave men contributing to the front line of war. The author compiled his books from numerous sources including original records of the RAAF and USAAF. |
