Description
Noted historian Theodore White called it
quotthemost dangerous, terrifying,
barbarous aerial transport run in the world . . .
the skyway to Hell.quotThis is the story of the
air war over the Himalaya Mountains, in World War
II, when Japan and China were locked in a death
struggle. China was completely cut off from the
world, and the transport planes of the Allies
flew day and night missions for three and one
half years over the Himalayas to keep China
supplied with the needs of war. This was called
the Hump. Gen. Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers
crossed the Hump to outgun the Japanese Zeros in
some of the most spectacular air battles of World
War II. More than one thousand airmen and six
hundred transport planes were lost, flying air
routes that were so dangerous they were called
the quotaluinum trail.quotThe B-29
Superfortress flew four-day missions across the
Hump to bomb the Japanese mainland. The Hump was
the epic of World War II in the air. This is
a scholarly and historically accurate description
of the development of air power in
China, explaining the need for the Himalayan
airlift and recording the important dates and
events of the war over the Hump against Japan.
Otha C. Spencer was a Hump pilot and recounts
his own experiences and those of the men who flew
the planes through the world's worst weather over
the world's highest mountains. Dozens of
photographs, most taken by Hump airmen, show the
glory and tragedy of this great air war. This
book will be an important addition to the
libraries of the general reader as well as the
military historian.
