And then, suddenly, Christmas Day, 1871, when
the American people dwelt not the glad old memory
of Bethlehem but the shocking facts of the war;
gallant band of American fighting pilots their ships
painted to look like sharks, dved 0S Jap bombers
and fighter planes their way to bomb seaport of
Burma.
Thus started the strangest venture of the second

The Burma road is China
jugular vein.--Lin Yutang.
An air traveller over southwest
China in the fall of 1897 looked
down upon that gray wilderness
and was surprised to see many
thousands OF moving figures along
the mountainsides and in the deep
gorges. He asked his pilot what
they were.
They're the people Of China"
the pilot replied.
For 726 miles they cut a level
strip 9 TO 20 feet wide across the
rocky face of Asia. They built
the most dramatic, the most i'm
portant highway in the world
They built the Burma road.
