The supply of Chinas army by aircraft during the war was a risky business.

Between India and China, the Hump (Himalayas) had to be crossed each way.

Many aircraft came to grief from the at times very inclement weather at that altitude.

No remains of the 13 crew have been found.

Unfortunately 3 Sherpa guides died of Hypothermia during the search.
