We Flew Without Guns

I was looking for something else (as I always am) when I found this. It's an autobiography of a guy who flew "over the Hump" for the China National Aviation Corporation, a "private" company that supplied the Nationalist Chinese government in southwest China by flying across the Himalayas from India. They flew out of Dinjan, in Assam, the same airfield used by the US Army Air Corps and where, I'm pretty sure, my dad was based during the war. So they were almost certainly in the same place at the same time, and they may even have run into each other.
