Burma Star

Aircraft & Exhibits, X004-4354

The Burma Star was awarded for service during the Burma campaign of 1942–1945. The campaign was fought by Allied troops against Japan, whose troops invaded Burma through Thailand. Control of Burma would give the Japanese a base from which to attack China and India, and give Japan access to the rich mineral and natural wealth of those countries.
