Dad was in the 18th Air Service Squadron of the 18th
Air Force. These were the guys who worked on the ground making
sure that our fighters and bombers had a place to land, a place to get
fuel and ammunition and food and lodging for the pilots. It was
hard work in the CBI Theater. Everything had to come in by air,
mostly over the "Hump".
That's how Dad got there.
After stop overs in North Africa and India Dad
was flown
over the Himalayan Mountains into China. He arrived in China 1
May
1944. He was a 2nd Lieutenant. As you can see from the list above
he
had many duties.

*Please Note*
I regret that I am unable to supply information about the CBI beyond
what is available on this website.
My father did all the research. I only maintain Dad's CBI Page in his,
and my grandfather's, memory.
If you are looking for further information, I can only suggest that
you follow
the links from this website to other CBI
related sites.
Good luck, and thank you for your interest!
