| "The Hump, as it was dubbed by the pilots of the China-Burma-India Theatre during World War 2, is that monsterous range of mountains that contains Everest, K2 and some others. It stretches across between China, India and Burma. The C-47 (or Dakota) was not designed for that duty. With a full cargo load we did well to get to 14,000 feet and mountains we flew past went between 15,000 and 29,000 feet !!" |

 Willard 'Bill' Mumford departed on his final mission, 28 Sep 2000. We wish him the smoothest flying! |
| Due to Leigh Gough´s generosity we present the 'Hump' logo and the page link below. Leigh is a fine person, a poet and a benfactor for us! Leigh originally presented them on her web site; giving them to us when it closed. |
Our Tribute offering, comes from emails to us in which Bill reminisces about his days of flying cargo, the aircraft , the places he went and people he knew. |
