I have this in my office painted by Stan Stokes. I keep it there because I point out to people that this was a really stupid thing. Forced to move all your logistics via air over the most inhospitable terrain in the world with virtually no navigation support by crews who had received minimal training.
They usually ask me why the USAAF would do that. I point out that they did it because they had no other choice. The Burma road was cut by the Japanese, and this was the only option.
Of course that's the point. Sometimes you have to do things because there is no other choice, it just has to be done, and all your planning and scheming at attempt to get around it come down to this one option....and you have to just do it.

Heh, if I thought it would lesson some of the tension I would dance around in a pink tu-tu wearing high-heel ballet shoes....there's a visual for you.
Seriously, I work in an organization with some significant stress, not to sound too melodramatic.
Hence the reference to the USAAF flying the Hump. Sometimes, it's just got to get done.
