Meaning Of New Burma Airfields
INCREASED AID for China and greater mobility of the Royal Air Force in the East is expected to result from the considerable pro- gress recently made in the provision of new aerodromes and landing grounds in Burma.
Although built specifically for the exten- sion of civil air lines in Burma, it is expected the new aerodromes will accelerate the tran- sit of the growing flood of supplies for China arriving under the Lease and Lend procedure.
They will also play their por in the defence of Burma shoul the necessity arise, and will in- crease the mobility of the Roya Af Force.
In addition to the aerodromer and landing grounds already built, others are now being built and still others are plan- ned.
