Flying the Hump, the mountains which lie between India and China
Flying the Hump, the mountains which lie between India and China, is reputed to be one of the most exciting flights in the world.
To complete this flight successfully both crews and aircraft have to be physically and mechanically in first
class condition, and extensive briefing on wireless, meteorological and navigational aids take place before each flight,
This is a photograph illustrating a typical flight with an RAF crew who have flown many times over the Hump to augment the heavy tonnage carried by aircraft of the USaF.
Picture shows: RAF men buying hats in the bazaar at Kunming in China.
