Talk:Free Thai Movement

Copyvio'd text
I removed roughly 30k of text in this edit due to copyright violations. At least two significant sections of the text were taken from this text, and I have a pretty good suspicion that the rest of it is cobbled from other sources as well. The text isn't going in its old form. It can be rewritten, perhaps, but that's another issue in itself. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:50, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Rescue
This article needs to be rescued, to document involvement of the OSS in Japanese-occupied Thailand; US bombing of civilian targets; an OSS agent losing his mind over it; and the UK's desire to annex Thailand at the end of WWII. Additional info on the accidental bombing of Japanese high-value sites in a B-29 raid that was only a practice-run for bombing Japan that missed all of its intended civilian targets is at Allies attack Thailand, 1942-1945. Text from The Library of Congress Country Studies Program, formerly the Army Area Handbook Program, yields this tidbit: "...As a result of the contributions made to the Allied war efforts by the Free Thai Movement, the United States, which unlike the other Allies had never officially been at war with Thailand, refrained from dealing with Thailand as an enemy country in postwar peace negotiations. Before signing a peace treaty, however, Britain demanded war reparations in the form of rice for shipment to Malaya, and France refused to permit admission of Thailand to the United Nations (UN) until Indochinese territories annexed during the war were returned. The Soviet Union insisted on the repeal of anticommunist legislation." Mongabay reference Thailand An earlier version of the article was preserved for students and teachers at eNotes. I can't help any more than this due to serious NNPOV. --Pawyilee (talk) 17:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Free Thai Air Force
I can't find any mention of the Free Thai having aircraft of their own, save for text copied from this article, and using Google Books to search through the book cited in this article produces no mention of Free Thai aircraft. Axeman89 (talk) 17:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Inviolate text
[http://www.loc.gov/rr/asian/guide/guide-southeast.html During World War II, the United States supported the anti-Japanese resistance movement in Thailand, the Free Thai Movement. The American largely responsible for bringing about this relationship was Dr. Kenneth Landon, a former Presbyterian minister who had spent ten years in Thailand as a missionary. After his return to the United States in 1937, Landon worked on a Ph.D. and wrote a book on Thai politics. With the outbreak of war, he became Washington's leading expert on Thailand, first with America's wartime intelligence organization, the Office of Strategic Services, and then with the Department of State. Dr. Landon later donated hundreds of pages of transcripts of Free Thai radio broadcasts to the Library, along with a small but important collection of post-World War II Thai books on politics as well as Thai political fiction.]
