The China-Burma-India Theater took a back seat to Europe and the Pacific in terms of manpower, resources and press coverage. But its stories of daring pilots who “flew the hump” of the mighty Himalayas, freewheeling guerrilla fighters known as Merrill’s Marauders, dedicated nurses fending off amorous advances, and crafty intelligence agents cutting deals with natives in three diverse countries were as colorful as those from the more heavily documented areas of World War II. The stories are not a formal history of war, but
a treasure trove of individual feelings and personal recollections.
Please join our effort by sending us your own recollections and memories.
Each contribution makes this project all the more priceless. Learn
