India pipeline fuels China-bound convoy at Myitkyina.

India pipeline fuels China-bound convoy at Myitkyina. Heavy American trucks of the first China-bound convoy over the new Stilwell Road take on gasoline directly from the India pipeline at Myitkyina, Burma. Completion of the pipeline made more plane cargo space available for carrying supplies to China. The new Stilwell Road will mean even more supplies for China, which for almost three years had to depend entirely on air transport. Credit for reopening of the land route goes to all the Allies-Americans, British, Chinese and the Kachins, North Burma tribesmen - who participated in the campaign to drive the Japanese from the area.
