The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. "The Hump was the name given by Allied pilots in the… Second World War to the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains over which they flew military transport aircraft from India to China to resupply the Chinese war effort of Chiang Kai-shek and the units of the United States Army Air Forces (AAF) based in China. Creating an airlift presented the AAF a considerable challenge in 1942: it had no units trained or equipped for moving cargo, and no airfields existed in the China Burma India Theater (CBI) for basing the large number of transports that would be needed. Flying over the Himalayas was extremely dangerous and made more difficult by a lack of reliable charts, an absence of radio navigation aids, and a dearth of information about the weather. " (from Wikipedia).

Softcover. First Edition, Second Printing. Octavo, xvi, 217 pages. Very Good dust jacket. Spine is black and gray with orange and white lettering. Mild general shelf wear. Inscribed by Spencer to author Jim Lehrer on both the half-title and the title page. Shelved in World War II. Jim Lehrer (1934-2020) was an American journalis…t and writer known for his contributions to public media and journalistic style. Born in Wichita, Kansas, his family moved to Texas during his youth. He attended community college at Victoria College before earning his bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri. After college, he joined the Marine Corps for three years in the late 1950s, following in the footsteps of his father and older brother. Lehrer's journalism career formally began in 1959, becoming a reporter for both the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times-Herald. Over the next seven years, Lehrer covered local politics, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In 1968, he became the city editor of the Times-Herald. Lehrer's television career, like his journalism career, was launched in Dallas as the executive director of Public Affairs for KERA-TV. In 1972, he moved to PBS in Washington, D.C. to work as a correspondent for NPACT, the National Public Affairs Center for Television. Lehrer rose to national prominence in 1973 following his reporting on the Watergate scandal with his journalism partner Robert MacNeil. The two established The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, which became NewsHour with Jim Lehrer upon MacNeil's retirement. In 2009, the program was renamed PBS NewsHour, the name that remains to this day. In addition to his broadcast journalism, Lehrer was additionally known for his fiction and for moderating presidential debates. He authored twenty-one novels, three memoirs, four plays, and three screenplays, including TENSION CITY (2011) and TOP DOWN (2013). Between 1988 and 2012, Lehrer moderated twelve presidential debates for PBS, where he became known for his hands-off tactic to moderation. Reaction to his approach was mixed, with some praising his choice to let candidates speak, while others complained of excessive leniency. After retiring from PBS in 2011, he continued to make guest appearances on NewsHour and moderated the first presidential debate in the 2012 election. His journalism has won many awards, including two Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. Part of his legacy includes "Lehrer/MacNeil journalism," the form of journalism the pair practiced on NewsHour. This style prioritizes objectivity, context, and respect for both the subject and audience while rejecting sensationalism and requiring clear separation between fact, analysis, and opinion. Lehrer passed from a heart attack in his home in Washington, D.C. in January of 2020 at the age of 85. He is survived by his wife of sixty years, writer Kate Lehrer, and their three children. 1413355. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Signed.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Noted historian Theodore White called it 'the most dangerous, terrifying, barbarous aerial transport run in the world . . . the skyway to Hell.' This is the story of the air war over the Himalaya Mountains, in World War II, when Japan and…China were locked in a death struggle. China was completely cut off from the world, and the transport planes of the Allies flew day and night missions for three and one half years over the Himalayas to keep China supplied with the needs of war. This was called the Hump. Gen. Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers crossed the Hump to outgun the Japanese Zeros in some of the most spectacular air battles of World War II. More than one thousand airmen and six hundred transport planes were lost, flying air routes that were so dangerous they were called the 'aluminum trail.' The B-29 Superfortress flew four-day missions across the Hump to bomb the Japanese mainland. The Hump was the epic of World War II in the air. This is a scholarly and historically accurate description of the development of air power in China, explaining the need for the Himalayan airlift and recording the important dates and events of the war over the Hump against Japan.Otha C. Spencer was a Hump pilot and recounts his own experiences and those of the men who flew the planes through the world's worst weather over the world's highest mountains. Dozens of photographs, most taken by Hump airmen, show the glory and tragedy of this great air war. This book will be an important addition to the libraries of the general reader as well as the military historian.
