Burma to India Refugee Airlift and the Shark Nos
The narrator recounts evacuating General Stilwell’s party and Chinese troops from Burma to India, ferrying refugees and wounded in dilapidated transports, and finally receiving a P-40 fighter. He describes risky landings at Fort Hertz, drop missions over the Chindwin, and the birth of a single fighter squadron in Assam, with vivid notes on pilots, battles, and the harsh monsoon and jungle warfare.
