On To The Hump



Bill Watt is pictured here with members of his unit in India.
He is on the back row right in the middle.

 Bill Watt left the States for a really big adventure after April 1944, when he joined up with the HUMP Pilots.  They were so-named because they flew supplies from India over to the Chinese who were fighting the Japanese.  The flying route took them over the top of the Himalaya Mountains, one of the coldest, toughest terrains on earth.
