About Hump Express...

  Hump Express was the official newspaper of the India-China Division, Air Transport Command, in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II.  The following paragraph, printed in each issue, explains the missions of ICD:

Military transport schedules over India for cargo, personnel and mail ... maximum tonnage of essential war materials over the Hump ... movement of troops and supplies in support of tactical operations in China ... evacuation of the sick and wounded - these are the missions of ICD-ATC.

 Hump Express was published each Thursday between January 18 and November 15, 1945.  There was apparently one week with no Hump Express published, as there are 44 weeks between the first and last issues, but only 43 total issues.  During the 11 weeks between August 23 (No.32) and November 15 (No.43) there were only 10 issues.

 Original issues of Hump Express were provided by CBI veterans Stephen C. King, Grover P. Fike, and James R. Cobb.  Each of the newspapers have been recreated here using the original stories and pictures.
