Photo believed to be at Piardoba which was the Indian base for 768th Bombardment Squadron, 462nd Bombardment Group. The photo shows the aircraft with three bomb symbols, for three missions, and four camels, being the number of times it had flown the "Hump", which was crossing the Himalayas into China. Rush Order survived the war and was scrapped in 1946. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland This photo was added on 20 July 2022, and has since been viewed 361 times. |
