Wrecked U.S. Army Truck After Collapse of Wooden Trestle Bridge, China-Burma-India Theater
A U.S. Army supply truck lies wrecked after plunging through a collapsed timber trestle bridge on a jungle supply route in the China-Burma-India Theater. Hazards like washed-out roads and improvised bridges took a steady toll on Allied convoys during World War II as they struggled to keep the flow of supplies moving to Chinese forces along routes such as the Ledo Road.
