Thread: White City

Would you mind elaborating, Mikky? White City? Mad Mike?

If you can try to get hold of the official report on Operation Thursday from The National Archives (WO 203/4620), and the report on the air force contribution (AIR 2/7990)

Andy, White City and Broadway were the code names for two airfields that were established for behind-the-lines operations by the Chindits

And mad Mike

there's quite a bit about the African contribution to the Chindits (including a chapter on Thurday) in War Bush: 81 (West african) Division in Burma by J A L Hamilton. The book is rather pricey but should be readily available via your local library.

There's also a few pages on the air force contribution in Probert's The Forgotten Air Force. I shall try to make some of the details available later.

And have you read Rolo's Wingate's Raiders - a wartime publication but still an interesting read.

Thanks Kyt, I never seem to find the time to get stuck into the Chindits properly.

Terence O'Brien sort of stuff?

Out of the Blue should cover some of the stuff Andy. His later book, Moonlight War, tended to cover more agent drops etc.

I'll get around to reading it/both one of these days. However, would like to begin at the start of his war with Chasing After Danger first.
