Another fascinating talk today at Hereford Military History Festival. Angharad Hampshire talking about her novel, The Mare, about a female concentration camp guard who was extradited from the US post war

This podcast lark has been an amazing experience! Thanks to all those who listened and provided feedback, even when we repeatedly mispronounced Yenangyaung! Who knew that scores of thousands of folk around the world were interested in the Burma Campaign? We are really grateful

What an absolute blast this has been, we are growing far faster than we ever expected! Thank you so much to all of our listeners and guests over the last 8 months or so. There are so many stories in the Burma Campaign beyond the common ones we hear, & we will get them out!

We have a B24 Liberator themed podcast coming off the production line tonight. Look out for our latest episode as we tell the story of the disastrous raid on Kassel on 27 September 1944. Six catastrophic minutes of air combat that decimated a lone B24 Bomb Group.
