  • “Hump” Airlift and Sino-Us Strategy in World War Ii
    KEEPING CHINA IN THE WAR: THE TRANS-HIMALAYAN “HUMP” AIRLIFT AND SINO-US STRATEGY IN WORLD WAR II DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John D. Plating, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Adviser Professor Allan R. Millett _____________________________ Professor Christopher A. Reed Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT The trans-Himalayan airlift of World War II, better known as the “Hump,” is recognized among specialists as the first sustained and most ambitious combat airlift operation in modern history. Cobbled together with only a handful of airplanes and aircrews in early 1942, the operation grew to become the ultimate expression of the US government’s commitment to China, in the end delivering nearly 740,000 tons of cargo. This was no small feat, either, as the US Army Air Forces’ aircraft flew in what is arguably the world’s worst weather system and over its most rugged terrain, all the while under the threat of enemy attack.
