My uncle Lloyd flew out of England with the 8th AF.
Dad was a civlian Hump pilot in the C-B-I Campaign.
He called China-Burma-India the “bump on the butt” of the Allied war effort.

My uncle, my Dad’s older brother, flew B-25s in the Pacific with the 5th Air Force while my Dad was in the 8th AF.

My uncle was shot down over China and spent almost six months getting his crew to General Chang’s lines. They made it and went on to get back into the war.
