thanks for all the information, seeing all those names took me back in time some 66 years and
a lot of old names I haven't heard of in years

Hello John I'm sure you will enjoy your stay. You may be interested in this list, the DUC mission to Don Muang (now Bangkok Airport); the field you took off from (Cox's Bazar) was part of a complex of around 20 RAF airfields , mostly fighters. Note no. 52 at bottom !
The air claims were Oscars by Chase and Dixon and a Sally shared by Buxton and Holman.
Modine was shot down by flak.
Regards
Nick

Hi John,
   Welcome! I hope you enjoy this forum. Lots of interesting people here.
    May I ask if you've written your "memoirs"? The true history can really only be written by participants - telling what they saw. Get enough of those and the picture gets really big and detailed. If you're published (or self publsihed) be sure to post how to get a copy. I'm sure lots of people here would be interested.
     Thanks for your service. Welcome, and I look forward to seeing your postings in the future.

Hi, new (but old!) member here, Capt. John Harris. I served in the 2nd Air Commando Squadron between 1942 and 1946, flew P51D's with missions in Southeast Asia; i.e., Burma, Thailand and China. Any of you 2nd ACG guys still kicking around?
