Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book describes air supply operations in the India-Burma Theater during the Second World War. Included in the discussion are brief accounts of the ground campaigns that the air supply effort supported as well as of the transport operations which delivered the supplies. Considerable attention is given to the command organizations developed to control air supply operations, to the procedures followed in allocating supplies, and to the ground supply organizations that procured, packed, and loaded the goods which air transport units delivered. The narrative covers both American and British operations.
This monograph was written by Dr. Joe G. Taylor of the USAF Historical Division. Dr. Taylor was a bombardier with the 12th Bomb Group, India-Burma Theater, during World War II.
