The Royal Air Force Mutiny
The Royal Air Force Mutiny of 1946 was caused by slow demobilisation and poor service conditions following the end of World War II.
In reality the mutiny was a strike action, beginning at Karachi and later spreading to 60 RAF stations in India and Ceylon, including the largest base at Kanpur.
Later declassified reports have shown that British troops were retained in India by Clement Atlee’s Labour Government to control possible unrest caused by the Indian independence movement.
The RAF Special Investigative Branch was dispatched to quell the mutiny and the resulting interrogations and kangaroo court trials ruined many lives.
From UK C4 1996.
