(The RAF reinforces Rangoon, the JAAF reinforces Thailand)
Mysteriously, the JDA map doesn't show the advance field at Mae Sot, on
the Burma-Thai border, but the evidence is strong that an airstrip did exist
there. Mae Sot is now a major center for sewing up women's underwear, using
Burmese women who cross the border every day from Myawaddy. You can see how
the pressure is building on the RAF field at Moulmein, with its auxiliary
field at Mudon to the south.
