Cover: One For The Road – Cochran’s Commandos land behind Jap Lines in Burma — The British soldier enjoying that healthy swig of beer is one of the late Gen. Wingate’s jungle fighters. A few minutes after downing his “one for the road”, he was on that glider en route to the all-aerial invasion of Burma with Cochran’s Commandos. The jungle-camouflaged soldier on the left is a Yank.

Articles Inside: …

Cochran’s Commandos — These Yanks landed their gliders on a moonlit Burma rice paddy 150 miles behind Japanese lines to start the first all-aerial invasion in history. Their equipment and tactics would turn Buck Rogers green with envy.
