george trotter Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 My worn out old memory banks say that the (only?) time the Japanese used airborne troops in battle was in Timor, against the Australians defending an airstrip there in early 1942...I may be wrong, but there should be something on the web about it.

David Flynn Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 I believe they jumped into Java as well, again against the Aussies. Quote
