“as a civilian pilot over the Hump in a C-46.”
That’s cool. What’s over the Hump? It sounds familiar.

The Hump was the Himalayas, overflown by C-46’s enroute to supporting the China-Burma-India theater. Hump time was logged separately & many aircraft were lost where there was absolutely no place to land. Hump pilots were an elite.
