ALLIED AIR TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
SOUTH WEST PACIFIC AREA IN WWII
Volume Two:-    1943 - Year of expansion and consolidation
by Robert H. Kelly

After more than 20 years of research and writing, author Bob Kelly is pleased to present this second 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).

Volume two covers the USAAF 54th Troop Carrier Wing and its subordinate units, the RAAF transport squadrons (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 41 Squadrons) and transport operations at Wau, Nadzab and Kaiapit.

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.

The author compiled his books from numerous sources including original records of the RAAF and USAAF.
