My father, LT. Col. David Gantz was in charge of all the truck operations going over the Lido-Burma Road. He fought there for five years - the entire war. He left me a framed copy of the secret map for the building of the Lido-Burma road. He told me that when the trucks began falling off the cliffs as the road was being built, he hired Sherpas to haul 100 pound packs of building materials over the hump.
My great grandfather was a sailor of ship being used during the construction of Stilwell Road.We possess a ship pass of that time at Lakhimpur Harbour of Assam.Now we are living in Ledo since that time.

Thanks for posting this, as Ronald Reagan will always be one of my faverites, Otto Orlowski helped maintain the aircraft as a mechanic, he was stationed near the hump in India for four years, he was my grandfather, if you had family in the CBI campaign I encourage you to look up "the CBI round up" a weekly news paper featuring soldiers and current events in the area, many of these where saved and can be read online, I found a blurb about my grandfather in one.
I am a veteran of The Royal Australian Navy. >>> What a great documentary! Thank you for posting it. I was thinking about how the world changes. During the time that this documentary is about, we, the Western Allies, helped China so much to fight against the Japanese. Today, Japan fights alongside us against the Chinese, who now would prefer we didn't exist, even though we helped them keep their country safe from the Japanese. Where is the logic in that? In fact, there is none. It's like your best friend at school, whom you would walk home with and play games with daily, who suddenly didn't agree with you on a matter and therefore decided you would not be his friend anymore. What a strange and dangerous world we live in. And I believe it will never change, at least not in my lifetime. We will always be in a state of war, somewhere on this planet of ours. But what can we expect from someone who was born just after WWII? I have been in a war myself and it is no way to live one's life. Except, we are duty-bound to protect our own country as well as the country of those we have promised protection. As the French say, c'est la vie!
You don' t know that generalisimus Kai Shek Chiang was awarded by Soviet The Victory Orden with diamonds. Only 10 generals had this reward, The Victory Order

God bless your father and all who served.
Please came to assam, the road is still there but operational after 1962 indo-china war
I would love to see the scanned or photographed secret map.
Could you please provide a scanned copy of it upload it in gdrive and provide the link?

To see the place where I was born is an experience in itself. The great war and the flight over humps is something that is unbelievable.

Stunned to see a great 'movie' ! They were real heroes indeed. Particularly laying of fuel pipeline along the road in those days
watching this film sitting over the stilwell road
Sound effects are hilarious planes tires screeching in the dirt 😆
You don' t know that generalisimus Kai Shek Chiang was awarded by Soviet The Victory Orden with diamonds. Only 10 generals had this reward, The Victory Order
english subtitles please but no auto generated
Going to visit soon
Don't know this 😯
Stilwell had anti british and chinese tendencies!
There was no Russia in WW2.Some Russians fought for the Axis powers.
