(4) 4-6 Encounter series. This book explores the harrowing exploits of pilots who flew "The Hump," the air transport route between India and China in WWII's lesser-known China-Burma-India theater. The narrative includes individuals' experiences as well as background on the war itself, and the result is a bit choppy. Occasional black-and-white photos, sidebars, and a map supplement the main text. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
