From the steaming jungles of Burma to the sun-scorched airstrips of Ceylon and India, the Royal Air Force fought one of the Second World War's most gruelling and overlooked campaigns — and RAF Combat Units SEAC 1941-45 brings that epic aerial struggle into sharp, authoritative focus. Part of Osprey's acclaimed Airwar series (No. 23), this compact but information-dense volume chronicles the organisation, equipment, and operational history of every RAF unit that served within the South East Asia Command between 1941 and the final Japanese surrender in 1945, covering iconic aircraft types from Hurricanes and Spitfires to Beaufighters and Liberators. Bryan Philpott writes with the precision of a dedicated aviation historian, marshalling unit histories, order-of-battle data, and campaign narratives into a coherent and compelling account that cuts through the fog of a theatre long overshadowed by the European and Pacific wars. The breadth of coverage — spanning fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, and transport squadrons — makes this an indispensable reference for modellers, researchers, and anyone captivated by the question of how Allied air power was ultimately forged into the decisive instrument that broke Japan's grip on South-East Asia.
