Birth of the Air Commandos
Colonels Allison and Cochran confer with British General Orde Wingate in India before Operation THURSDAY. Wingate’s concept of long-range penetration (LRP) proved to be successful when coupled with the capabilities of the 1 ACG. The ability to rapidly insert supplies, equipment, and fresh troops, as well as evacuate wounded was a major factor in the success of the Burma operations.
