Chronicling the most ambitious airlift in history... In this groundbreaking work, John D. Plating argues that the Hump airlift was initially undertaken to serve as a display of American support for its Chinese ally. However, by 1944, American strategists shifted the purpose of air operations to focus on supplying American forces in China in preparation for the US's final assault on Japan.
