Burma Road Remains Important Military Object
k This section of the Burma road in China was taken by a signal corps photographer. The China-Burma
* India theater of war contains 24 switchbacks as shown in this photograph. Even before America entered the
war, engineers from American military and civil life were cooperating with the Chinese in the improvement
and development of this highway system. The road is essential to China. It serves as the only line of com
munication, outside of air, that serves a vast portion of the country. The road has been under air bombard
ment almost continually since the start of the Chinese-Japanese war.

ment on the huge P-47, which not only can do as much damage as the flying bomb, but actually does many
times as much, for the bombs can be accurately placed.
