Scarecrow Posted March 27, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2022 Great grouping! What is amazing is that he survived 66 trips over the Hump. Some of the most dangerous flying of WWII. So many aircraft were lost flying the Hump that it's known as "The Aluminum Trail". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nack Posted March 30, 2022 Share #12 Posted March 30, 2022 Spectacular group. Definitely an underappreciated group. I wouldn't want to be flying a slow, big target over mountains and through terrible weather over and over. Tough gents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted March 31, 2022 Share #13 Posted March 31, 2022 That is killer, his slog book entry's are a nice touch... I see a lot of the CBI A-2 name tags have the gold inlay....nice Is the A-2 a Bronco or United Sheeplined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share #19 Posted July 6, 2022 Last weekend a little more of his stuff surfaced. Namely the 2 volume set of books put out by the Hump Pilot's Association in the late 1980's. Lt. Neville is in volume 2, along with a partial list of his awards. So I was able to correct his rack accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted July 6, 2022 Share #20 Posted July 6, 2022 Robin, this is a really outstanding group, but I'm afraid that you've added the wrong ribbon to the ribbon bar. You added a USAF Outstanding Unit Award rather than a Distinguished Flying Cross ribbon. That needs to be fixed. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share #21 Posted July 7, 2022 OK, third attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m38matilda Posted November 27, 2022 Share #22 Posted November 27, 2022 I wasn't aware there was a set of books put out for Hump pilots. My Dad was a Hump pilot in the the 10th AF assigned to a Troop Carrier Squadron, I've been trying to recreate his cloth flight jacket that was stolen out of his car sometime in the 50's. He also had another one with the blood chit and sleeve patches that my effin' nephew took when I was away and his mother later gave away to goodwill. Is there a reprinting of that 2 volume set?
