Air Mobility article overdue - Ricochets and Replies - Brief Articleone time again, Dr. David R. Met is almost a unoccupied voice in the wilderness in his attempts to hold fast the discussion and study of airlift and air mobility in play ("Between sum of two units Worlds: Fodder for Your Professional Reading upon Global Reach and Air Mobility," Spring 2002) I would present an additional thought--one that belong tos Southeast Asia/China-Burma-India (CBI) operations in World War II. Although Dr Met mentions the Hump airlift as a lock opener event, he doesn't note the air commandos' use of gliders and paratroops in Operation Thursday, which used airlift as the single source of resupply to American, Chinese, and British combat units in the field in Burma. of the like kind resupply was pioneered by tithe Air Force and, later, the Combat Cargo Task Force; Maj Gen Claire Chennault also used airlift to hold his widely distributed Fourteenth Air Force units in business one time Air Transport Command had delivered the usefuls across the Hump. I am of the opinion that, although the historical treatment of Army Air Forces transport units which serv in the CBI theater is not nearly proportional to their contributions and service, their work in airdrop and aerial delivery of cargo laid the groundwork for a great quantity [i]or[/i] amount of of what became "tactical" airlift as used/refined in Korea, Vietnam, and any number of continge ncies as well as humanitarian and disaster-relief efforts.
