Allies unveils oil line to Burma linking India and China
The oil pipeline runs from India to Burma and will reach China, routed across Assam and Burma with climbs to 4 000 feet and later 10 000 feet as it enters Chinese territory. Engineers under Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Pick built the line while Indian pioneer troops cleared jungle and rivers. The heavily guarded system allows rapid refueling at Calcutta and is expected to boost China’s war effort and heavy air operations in the Pacific.
