The official history of Australia’s involvement in the Second World War represents one of the longest and largest historical endeavours that Australia has ever seen. The enterprise began in January 1943 with the appointment of Gavin Long as General Editor. The 22 volumes, written by 14 authors, were published by the Memorial over a 25-year period between 1952 and 1977.
This volume describes the operations and the problems of the RAAF in the War against Japan from April 1943 until the end of the war – the period in which the Allies possessed air superiority in the Pacific. At the beginning of this phase the RAAF was providing a major part of the air forces of the South–West Pacific Area. Later it began to play a less important role, so much so that discontent developed among aircrew and some of their leaders believed the force was not being assigned worthwhile duties.
The book tells not only of the widespread and varied operations of the Australian squadrons in the SWPA and Australian individuals in Burma but of the difficult problem of allocatimg command responsibilities within a force part of which was assigned to General MacArthur and part controlled by the Minister for Air through his Chief of the Air Staff.
The story of Japanese reactions to Allied air operations has been told with the help of enemy records which put familiar events in a new light.
