Imagine flying a canvas-covered plywood glider without an engine 200 miles into Japanese territory in the dead of night...transporting over 500 troops, hundreds of tons of cargo, as well as mules and horses. This was the monumental task undertaken by the volunteers of the 1st Air Commando Group. They were 532 hand-picked men, chosen to help protect and regain lost territory in the beleaguered China-Burma-India Theatre.
In this gripping episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll meet the masterminds of Operation Thursday. Two trailblazing American lieutenant colonels, John R. Alison and Philip G. Cochran, join hands with an extraordinary British general, Orde C. Wingate, and make history. Together they accomplished what had never been done before: penetrating so deep behind enemy lines that it wouldn't be done again until we fought the war on terror in Afghanistan.
You'll meet some of the men who made the mission a success: glider pilots Solomon Schnitzer and Charles Turner, and crew chief Gene Piester. You'll also hear LTC Alison's first-hand account of the famous "Flying Tigers", and how they became the only source of hope in this often forgotten theatre of operations. Find out how courageous veterans of this little-known place on earth proved they were indeed ready "Any Place, Any Time, Any Where."
