Overview:
After a coup against the pro British Iraqi regent, 'Abd alIlah, the Iraqis seemed at first to coexist with the British. However, toward the end of April the Iraqi military began to occupy the heights looming over Habbaniya and emplaced guns on the plateau. On May 2, the Iraqis sided with the Axis and attempted to evict the British. As shells fell around the airfield, the brave pilots, flying hopelessly outmoded Gladiator biplanes, flew sorties on the artillery and waited for relief.Attacker: Iraqis (1st Infantry Division)
Defender: British (Assyrian Levies)
