Subject(s): Summary: Analyses air operations conducted over Borneo in 1945 as part of joint operations collectively known as Oboe. The lead-up to the Oboe operations is discussed as an essential preliminary, describing the situation at the time. Each of the three Oboe operations actually undertaken (of the six planned) is discussed in turn with a focus on the phases of the operations, the air support and fighter control organisations, and administration (including logistics, medical, and personnel issues). Oboe One - Tarakan; Oboe Six - Labuan and Brunei Bay; Oboe Two - Balikpapan. Using this holistic view of the air operations themselves and the supporting operations, the book draws together the principal observations. The final chapter analyses the doctrine of the time and assesses the degree to which the observations accord with the doctrine.
