Wings-From Burma to the Himalayas

Indelibly burned into the memories of the fliers of the China-Burma-India theater are the experiences told by Gordon of flying the uncharted skies of the Hump in C-47s. Jack Gordon's gripping story of the fliers of the China-Burma-India Theater vividly recaptures the experience of the 27th Troop Carrier Squadron. Here is preserved how it was to fly through monsoon and Japanese action to drop supplies to Wingate's Chindits in the Burmese jungle, to support the Chinese Nationalists opening the Burma road in mountainous Yunnan Province, to cross the treacherous, uncharted skies of the Hump in their C-47's.

For everyone - children, grandchildren, the young and the old - this is a new kind of history of WWII. With authentic photos, this is a crystal clear picture of part of the American experience in Southeast Asia. This book is a living portrayal of the emotions and times of a generation.
