Ledo Road
Using those figures, Stilwell argued that the Ledo Road network would greatly surpass the tonnage being airlifted over the Hump. Chennault doubted that such an extended network of trails through difficult jungle could ever match the tonnage that could be delivered with modern cargo transport aircraft that were then being deploying in the theater. Progress on the Ledo Road was slow and could not be completed until the linkup of forces in January 1945.
