Summary:

"The Burma Road was a WWII military supply line passing through treacherous terrain. Built out of dire necessity, it was the only supply line that China had in the fight against Imperial Japan. China stood no chance of fending off the Japanese invasion without a supply line. Such a road was thought to take more than five years to build, even with modern machinery, but the Chinese built it in less than one year with their bare hands! That same determination also built the airfields used by the infamous Flying Tigers, American Volunteer Group (AVG). The charismatic Lt. General Claire Lee Chennault developed innovative fighting tactics for his ragtag P-40 squadrons that broke the Japanese grip on China. By denying Japan a secure hold on China, the Allied Forces were then able to destabilize Japan in the Pacific and ultimately force their surrender'-- Heritage Broadcasting Service
