The Hump 1942–45In World War II, the war in China tied down much of the Japanese Army, and it was crucial to keep China fighting and supplied. But when the Burma Road fell, the only way left was by air, in piston engined transports, over the Himalayas from India. As Japan captured new bases and stationed fighters to intercept, the possible routes over 'The Hump' became increasingly treacherous. In this book, aviation historian Mark Lardas explains how the campaign

In World War II, the war in China tied down much of the Japanese Army, and it was crucial to keep China fighting and supplied. But when the Burma Road fell, the only way left was by air, in piston-engined transports, over the Himalayas from India. As Japan captured new bases and stationed fighters to intercept, the possible routes over 'The Hump' became increasingly treacherous.

In this book, aviation historian Mark Lardas explains how the campaign was fought. While the effort started with only 25 transports and its original organization was ad hoc, by July 1945 it had grown into a vast and organized air armada, with new airfields, specialized navigation aids, and a force of 640 aircraft. The cost was high, with 594 aircraft lost, and over 1,300 killed. But during the war it hauled nearly 700,000 tons of supplies, keeping China in the war. The India-China Wing of the Air Traffic Command earned a Presidential Unit Citation for its efforts, the first ever awarded to a non-combat unit.

Packed with illustrations and maps, this is the story of the first successful strategic airlift in history. The lessons of the Hump fed into the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49, and it was the essential forerunner behind the United States' capability to project power in the Cold War.

Pricey but they work
Style: Ink
Pricey but the remanufactured ones either don't work at all, or they work for a short time then go belly up...

Good value!
Style: Ink
Received in a timely manner. Installed with ease. Only printed a few pages but all is good so far. Price is more than I would like but very competitive and attractive compared to local office supply stores.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience. The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion. It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient. I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed. This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should. Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.
