Summary
"Lt. William Diebold served in the Army's Air Transport Command in the China-Burma-India theater of World War II and never fired a weapon in battle. Like many of the men who flew the eastern Himalayas, he never saw on-the-ground combat, but he fought bravely by saving lives. Flyers who crossed the Hump to keep the allied armies in China supplied with food, fuel, and weapons against Japan -- preventing it from concentrating its power in the Pacific -- often flew in zero-visibility, sometimes crashing into mountains or falling from the sky from Japanese Zero attacks"--Jacket
