隼とか何の役にも立ってない
The value of Allied air power had been demonstrated, and was to be a vital factor in the overall Allied victory in the Burma campaign.
At the Japanese surrender meetings in Rangoon on 11 September 1945,
[17] Major General Ichida read a statement which identified two unforeseen and vital factors which had put the Japanese at a "disastrous disadvantage":
(a) Allied air supply,
which permitted ground forces in Burma to consolidate their positions without being forced to retreat and thus rendered the enemy's infiltration and encircling tactics abortive.
(b) Allied air superiority,which so disrupted Japanese supply lines, both in Burma and further afield,
that starvation and illness overtook thousands of Japanese troops facing Fourteenth Army and also denied them the essential supplies of fuel,
equipment and material with which to fight a better equipped and supplied, Allied Force.
