Gurkha Paratrooper at Rangoon Assault

RANGOON ASSAULT -- Killing Japs is great sport to this husky Burkha Paratrooper, who smiles as a fellow member of his unit helps him buckle on his equipment while he waits his turn to board a USAAF C-47. Pilots of the Combat Cargo Task Force, under Major General George E. Stratemeyer's Eastern Air Command, transported these fighters to the jumping ground behind Japanese lines during the land, sea and air attack on Rangoon. 34-37271
