Content note: Wartime wording: the quoted report calls Japanese forces 'the Japs'. This object is shown as it was published. Why
Give us more C-46's
Drawing of C-46 Commando transports flying over snow-capped mountains, with a boxed statement credited to an Army Air Forces report about the India-to-China air route. The report serves as testimony, and words such as 'gallant' and 'precious' carry the approval (testimonial, glittering-generalities).
