1945819981945. Varying sizes and formats the majority being 8cm x 5.5cm with some larger format images being no larger than 12cm x 8.5cm. The majority in Very Good condition or better with a couple of images having some abrasions to verso some marginal creasing and in one instance a triangle of loss to the border. A compact and informative group of images the majority with detailed verso captions from an American serviceman a long way from home.<br /> <br /> One of the most strategically important but now somewhat marginalized initiatives of the later stages of WW2 was the vitally important China-Burma-India resupply route. A phenomenal effort was made to ensure seamless movement of troops and materials in defiance of the ebb and flow of Japanese occupations and blockades throughout the theater of war between 1943 and 1945. <br /> <br /> Originally allied forces held control of what came to be called "Stilwell Road" running from Ledo through to Kunming in China via Burma this ground route proved subject to a number of issues not least of which was Japanese aggression so an initiative was developed to allow the air transport of vital resources between the rapidly constructed Dinjan airfield in Assam where our G.I. is stationed and the distribution points in China and Burma. <br /> <br /> This important piece of military and indeed civilian co-ordination was carried out by a number of units; initially the India Air Task Force the majority of which became the U.S. Tenth Air Force with additional allied units ranging from British RAF to the legendary China National Aviation Corporation CNAC. <br /> <br /> This collection includes an image of Captain Enos Claire Kirkpatrick of the CNAC captioned "One swell fellow" which is notable mainly for his participation in the gradual evolution of the CNAC into the Civil Air Transport and subsequently into the CIA backed Air America for whom Kirkpatrick flew support missions to Dien Bien Phu and a number of other conflict torn South East Asian destinations before his retirement in 1966. Very much a 'cowboy' operation during WW2 with a number of the CNAC pilots being ex- Flying Tigers it later became a more streamlined and well supplied arm of U.S. military intelligence. CNAC was also distinctive for being made up of U.S. and Chinese pilots and crew flying together performing 38000 missions between 1942-1945. <br /> <br /> A number of other units operated out of Assam during this period including the 443rd Troop Carrier Group the 44th Service group represented in this collection the 3rd Combat Cargo Group and the 1080th QM Quartermaster Company. Which unit our GI belonged to or was seconded to is unclear the situation at Dinjan seems to have been fairly fluid and informal with the risky and rather impetuous nature of running missions "Over The Hump" as the Himalaya crossing was referred to lending itself to some fairly esoteric variations on traditional military roles and conventions. <br /> <br /> An unofficial grouping of images with many of the photos seeming to have been sent to a sweetheart back home with brief explanations of the content. There are numerous depictions of things that would naturally fascinate a U.S. serviceman positioned in Northern India: the Nimtollah burning ghats temples the Calcutta racetrack street scenes in Assam and Calcutta snake charmers beggars small reminders of home like the Red Cross "Donut Bebe" who ran a truck offering donuts and coffee every other day on base the building of a company bar and rec room the eccentric 1st Lieutenant various Fakirs C-47 transport planes flying low over the river and the day-to-day of base life. <br /> Also present in the captions are some observations on Indian culture ranging from the complimentary to the mystified; our PFC clearly and unsurprisingly had no grasp of India's caste system and few reference points for the complex social structures through which he wandered looking for excitement and distraction. An additional point on this largely forgotten wartime effort is that it inadvertently assured U.S. domination of the post-war international airline industry with a large number of the decommissioned transports subsequently being sold off and refitted for civilian air use. unknown
