What's Pilots in Peril! About

Publisher Summary

Historian Theodore White called it the most dangerous, terrifying, barbarous aerial transport run in the world…the skyway to Hell. The Hump was a perilous 500-mile flight path across the eastern Himalayan Mountains many U.S. pilots flew during World War II in order to keep the Allies well-supplied in China. Using personal accounts from pilots, rescuers, and U.S. Air Force staff, this fast-paced narrative puts young readers in the cockpit alongside some of the war’s bravest pilots.
