Desert Luxury and the Airmen Bearer System in the Far East
In the Far East, airmen rely on native servants or bearers for personal needs. Bearers provide tea, meals, and readiness, eliminating alarm clocks. On RCA stations, airmen are served by their own bearers, and without a bearer there is no food. A Birch Grove paratrooper and his wife are mentioned in connection to this practice.
