My father, Sgt. James Dudas, was an L5 airplane and engine mechanic in Central Burma 12 May 1944 to 6 Oct. 1945. He served in the 165th LN SQD, 1st Air Comm Group.Under battles and campaigns, my father's discharge papers list GO 33 & 40 WD 45. Can anyone tell me what that means? My father, though still alive, has forgotten.


In his book, "Burma: The Longest War 1941-45," author Louis Allen quotes from James Richard Rhodes's book "Chindit" describing the L5: "These planes were to become the lynchpin of the whole operation and were a bigger factor in sustaining morale than anything else."

I do not own the book "Chindit," but I suspect the praise relates the kinds of recon the L-5 was able to provide and that it could bring back the wounded.
Does that sound right?

My Father (Jerry Lane) was a Staff Sgt involved with L-5's in Burma. He said he knew a guy (a Pilot?) named Paul Gray from Seatle. Does anyone know him? I have a picture of the two of them posed in front of an L-5 with a mouse face painted by my father on the cowling. I will get it and upload it in the near future.

I own and fly an L-5B S/n 1886, ex-USAAF 42-99645, later on Indian Civil Register as VT-CRO. It was brought to Australia in mid-1990s and rebuilt to as new in 1998, now VH-CRO.

I know that the aircraft was built in 1944 and saw operational service in India and Burma. I would love to get ANY information about its service history.

I see from this website that Randy Swanberg was with L-5s in Burma and I'd love to contact him.
