Opis

"John Plating's The Hump is an intelligent, groundbreaking work that is sure to become essential reading for those interested in the history of China and the Second World War."--Robert von Maier, editor-in-chief, Global War Studies

"Author John D. Plating, an air force officer and former transport pilot, has written not only a first-rate history, but the first truly comprehensive examination of the 1942-45 efforts to maintain an aerial supply channel to China. . . . Plating's richly researched and rewarding pages do not neglect the experiences of the flight crews. . . . He displays a mastery of the many-layered agendas of British, American, and Chinese actors in the drama." --Richard Frank, World War II

"The Hump was an enjoyable read, and Plating has produced the best single-volume study of the Hump airlift available."--Jeffery S. Underwood, Military History of the West
