	Burma Revisited - article from Canadian Military History
		The Squadron had a difficult and disorganised beginning but after it started operations it was highly effective in its assigned role of ground attack against the Japanese transportation systems and airfields.
		However half of the Squadron was sent at the beginning of August to reinforce the airborne firepower in the besieged enclave of Imphal in the northern Chin Hills.
		No immediate action was taken by the Allies presumably because South East Asia Command HQ thought the messages might be a ruse.

		No 6 Squadron is one of the oldest squadrons of the Indian Air Force, being one of the nine squadrons raised before or during World War Two.
		The squadron asserts, with particular relish, that it wore out its airstrip as a result of the sheer intensity of its operations, such that engineers had to be called in to repair it, while they operated temporarily from an alternative strip.
		At the beginning of June 1944 No 6 Squadron was withdrawn from operations on the Burma front, the advance party leaving on the 6th and the air party on the 11th.

		FR aircraft is found in the status report for No. 2 Chutai aircraft of that Regiment as of December 31, 1942 [18].
		FR operated the Ki 43 in China and the Flying Tigers had apparently first observed the type in operations over China early in July, however, neither unit was equipped with the type 1 fighter as early as May 1st and this particular aircraft belonged to a sprcial unit[20].
		If, as seems likely from the evidence, Ki 43-I’s were used for liaison and training purposes from August 1943, it would not be surprising to find their 12.7mm guns salvaged as spares or for use on other operational aircraft.
