Early in January the Rangoon defense was increased by several aircraft from the 1st squadron of the A.V.G. On January 13, the entire first Squadron joined the other
A.V.G forces at Rangoon. Air battles continued for weeks over Rangoon until it
finally fell to enemy ground forces at the end of February. This Snapshot represents
one of the many air battles that may have taken place over Rangoon.

Designer Notes
Ack is set low due to the vulnerability of the IJN aircraft. The most common fighter type at that time for the Flying Tigers to engage was the Type I-96 'Claude' or the Type I-97 'Nate'. The A6M2 will substitute for those.  
 
CM Notes
All fields west of the 10 line should be Allied. All fields east of the 10 line should be Axis.
