Author's Synopsis

This first book of a trilogy, describes Air Transport Command efforts to ferry supplies and munitions from India into China and the challenges that aircrew faced in executing this difficult task. It introduces readers to one transport crew; a handful of men whose lives were forever changed in service to their country. Volume I is a gritty, highly descriptive account of aircrew life in sub-tropical Asia and the incredible stress endured while flying combat missions over the dangerous and unforgiving Himalayas. During airlift operations from 1942-45, more than a third of aircraft flying these missions were lost to enemy action, weather or unexplained circumstances. That grim statistic meant that during every pre-mission briefing at least one-third of crewmen assembled would not survive to attend the next briefing. Volumes II and III follows this small group of airmen as they close out their war service. These books trace the returning airmen’s lives and those of their descendants through the fifties, sixties, Viet Nam until contemporary times. This is Steve’s second book.
