520 _aHistorian 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.
