timmy some where in these link it was mentioned about the C 46 and it issues they even used helicopter and small planes in this area to rescue crews a famous person was saved once.

Lot of afro american soldiers worked to make that road to Ledo and CBI theater a war is a forgotten one compared to Pacific et al. I read Gen Smiths Defeat to Victory years ago another common sense soldier. Lot of west indian soldiers also fought in Burma..their are amazing narratives and many of the active Indian airfields Chabua, Kalaikunda etc were built then

N Grewal,

Surely you mean Field Marshal Viscount Slim or Bill Slim as he was affectionately called. He was one of only three Indian Army officers who became Knights of the Garter, the other two being Field Marshal Earl Roberts of Kandahar and General Sir Hastings Ismay.

Regards.
