Assam Dragon
25th Fighter Squadron
Assam Dragon
1942-1945
It's of a fearless fighter, a story now I'll tell;
He was a ferocious dragon and in Assam he did dwell;
'Twas far beyond the mountains, he commenced his wild career,
Where many lowly Japanese, below him shook with fear.

Bold and yet undaunted; the dragon of Assam,
Strong and undefeated, he ruled this jungle land;
When Japanese came over, to fight a mighty session,
He sent them to their ancestors, in mournful great procession.

O'Dragon of Assam, O'Dragon of Assam so cunning and sly,
Your snarling lips and flaming nose belie your soulful eye.
You are a Ledo roadster with laurels in your hair,
We've seen you once too often within your jungle lair;
Those wings of steel, well studded with fifties,
Are in constant embrace with the "Margueretta Nifties
