CBI 10th AAF Pre-hump-Pre-14th


I will share letters from India. Here is a little bit of photography for you to enjoy. Bruce loved India but became ill and was extremely anxious to fly the hump. He did, so more to come from China.

Enjoy the pictures. If you have any way to help identify his buddies in India, please let me know. I'd be honored to hear from you.

Bruce Fleming Jepsen, India 1944. Probably taken before his 2 week hospital visit due to Jaundice. He flew the hump almost as soon as he was released from hospital November 1944. Ready.
