Project 9: The Birth of the Air Commandos in World War II is a thoroughly researched narrative of the Allied joint project to invade Burma by air. Beginning with its inception at the Quebec Conference of 1943 and continuing through Operation Thursday until the death of the brilliant British General Orde Wingate in March 1944; less than a month after the successful invasion of Burma; Project 9 details all aspects of this covert mission; including the selection of the American airmen; the procurement of the aircraft; the joint training with British troops; and the dangerous night-time assault behind Japanese lines by glider.
