Exciting Kabul Aerial Rescue Recalled by British Minister
Sir Francis Himphries, Britain’s Kabul minister, recalled daring evacuation flights that delivered Britons and foreigners from Kabul. He described planes flying through frozen mountains, landing amid snow in crowded airstrips, covering over 35,000 miles with only two aircraft lost and 60 people saved without tragedy. The rescue, he said, likely helped prevent a war by ensuring the safekeeping of the king and his ladies.
