ALLIED OFFICIALS CROSS HIMALAYAS IN U.S. TRANSPORT PLANE. Bundled up against high altitude cold and wearing oxygen masks, Allied military and diplomatic officials travel from India to China over the lofty Himalaya Mountains in a U.S. Army transport plane. Since April, 1942, Chinese and American flyers have been winging war supplies over the same treacherous route and have transported more cargo in their "flying freight cars" than ever traveled over the old Burma Road.
