This vertical aerial reconnaissance photograph captures the rugged mountain terrain of the China-Burma-India Theater, where Allied forces built and maintained vital overland supply routes - including the famed Burma Road and Ledo Road - to keep China supplied against Japanese occupation. The dramatic switchback road visible here illustrates the immense engineering challenge of moving trucks and supplies through some of the world's most difficult mountain terrain, a logistical feat that became legendary among the engineers and drivers of the CBI Theater.
