In VOLUME 10 of The Things Our Fathers Saw® series, ‘Over The Hump/China, Burma, India’, we will visit with the veterans of most overlooked theater of World War II as they prepare to fly over and march through the most inhospitable terrain on the planet, from the Himalaya Mountains to the jungles and mountains of Burma, battling elite Japanese forces, sickness and tropical disease. Ride with the cargo pilots as they are buffeted by 200 MPH+ winds over some of the highest mountains in the world; join fighter pilots taking to the skies to attack Japanese bombers and other aircraft as the enemy tries to disrupt the flow of supplies from India to China. Accompany the long range American penetration forces as they go deep into the heart of enemy held territory to stem the Japanese onslaught. Gain a better understanding of why these forgotten men need to be remembered and celebrated today.
I have read all 10 volumes plus "Train Near Magdeburg" and none has been a disappointment or feeling of time wasted. On the contrary, I have learned so much about the life that my father and two of his brothers dealt with. None of them were involved in any major action, but they willingly played their parts for the greater good of this country.
I have to admit that this volume covers a part of WWII that I was ignorant of. Thank you Matt Rozell for educating me again.
Burma, over the hump.. Merrill’s Marauder’s live photography
Outstanding coverage of the Chinese-Burma “volunteer” forces who served our country with little or no recognition. Their job was to clear north Burma of the Japanese troops. Their penetration was behind enemy lines. Special recognition of General Vinegar Joe Stilwell and despite his age he was as fit as other men in this special jungle fighting army.
