I’ve read a little about the “Hump” campaign, but didn’t know they lost that many planes. Tough duty. I remember reading that the C-46 was called a flying coffin because of its’ propensity for engine fires when airborne.

“but didn’t know they lost that many planes.”

Me, either. Wow, that’s a lot of loss. I had no idea.
