For what its worth, my dad, now 94, drove a fuel truck over the burma road in WWII. Hauling fuel for the Flying Tigers. Some great stories. He'll love this.

 

Glad you posted. I missed it the first time. I hope they follow up with what they find..Maybe a storage wars WW2 edition when they open the containers.

 

Burma has a special place in my heart, cause my Pops was stationed there in WWII, as a weatherman, in the Army Aircorp. Mom recently passed away as well, so we are cleaning out the house and I found ALL this cool literature on Burma, he kept over the years. Funny how they called them "Japs" in the text. We've come a long way.
Thanks for the comments.

Its almost impossible to post anything new here anymore. I gave up trying.

 

I'd rather see a double post than have someone hold back posting. Thanks to themoose for posting the link to the first post on this discovery. Bob

 

I hope this works out better than it did for the guys that tried to save a B-29:

This is an older story but equally just as cool. About a B17 that went down on it's maiden flight.
