Great story on AZ businessman who set out to find plane crashes in the Himalayan Mountains from World War II. He describes hacking through a jungle to find the wreckage of a C-47 and how it felt like he had just found long lost pyramids. To an airplane nut thats exactly what it would feel like.
I thought I was generally knowledgeable in WWII aviation history, but I had never heard of the "hump" pilots. Talk about some brave pilots risking it all. I will remember them this memorial day.
