Episode 15: "Chennault Road." On September 1, 1945, an official letter from the Yunnan provincial government. At its 946th session, the provincial provisional council resolved to name the main road from the entrance of Wujiaba Airfield in Kunming to the Tuodong Road intersection "Chennault Road," honoring his long-standing service to China's war of resistance.

38%的油箱
1944年3月18日，一份航空汽油報告擺上會議桌。數字觸目驚心：第十四航空隊在華東的基地，油庫平均只剩最低安全庫存的38%。要讓戰機繼續升空防衛華東，每個月需要100萬加侖、近3,775噸汽油。每一加侖油，都要飛越駝峰，或沿滇黔公路顛簸千里，才能送到前線。沒有油，再好的飛行員也飛不起來。中美兩國打的是同一場空戰，而這場空戰，是靠汽油打的。38%，這個數字讓每一滴油都成了生命線。長空並肩，中美並肩作戰。

On March 18, 1944, an aviation gasoline report landed on the conference table. The number was chilling: the Fourteenth Air Force's bases in East China held, on average, only 38 percent of their minimum fuel reserve. Keeping fighters in the air over East China demanded one million gallons, nearly 3,775 tons of gasoline, every month. Every gallon had to cross the Hump or grind up the Kutsing-Tushan highway to reach the front. Without fuel, even the finest pilots could not take off. China and America were fighting the same air war, and that war ran on gasoline. Thirty-eight percent, a number that turned every drop into a lifeline.

"The Last Letter" | Side by Side in the Skies · Episode 13

On May 18, 1942, a letter left an airfield in China, bound for America.

The writer: Thomas Trumble, secretary of the Flying Tigers. The recipient: the father of Tom Jones, a fallen pilot.

Tom had served aboard the carrier Yorktown before volunteering for China. Over Hanoi he fought with such courage that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek personally promoted him to vice squadron leader. But he would never come home.

Trumble wrote: "We have lost a comrade and a friend. The enemy has lost an indomitable foe. But the world is, and will be, a happier world because of him and his deeds."

Behind every Flying Tigers legend, there was a letter like this one — and a family, an ocean away.

零件的生死時速

1944年3月3日，一份譯電送到陳納德將軍的桌上。威勞爾在電報裡發出警告：卡車零件卡在慢吞吞的海運船期上，再等下去，卡車大修計劃就要開天窗，華東防空和駝峰空運的配額都會受到威脅。

唯一的解方，是給這批零件最高的空運優先權，從美國一路直送查布亞。電報裡寫著最樂觀的估計：四月一日，零件離開美國。

跟時間賽跑的人，在天上，也在公路上。中美並肩，長空並肩。

🛩️ [Side by Side in the Skies · Episode 11] Racing the Clock for Spare Parts

On March 3, 1944, a decoded cable reached General Chennault's desk. Willauer's message carried a warning: truck spare parts were stuck on slow sea-shipping schedules, and further delay would wreck the great truck overhaul, threatening eastern China's air defense and the Hump airlift's allocations.

Only one answer remained: top air priority for the parts, from America all the way to Chabua. The cable's best estimate: the parts would leave the United States by April 1.

A race against the calendar, fought in the skies and on the highways. China and America, side by side.

借卡車的大膽構想

1944年3月29日，戰區總部參謀長赫恩准將回信給陳納德將軍。信裡沒有藉口，只有一個大膽的計劃。

先向閒置的第五軍借卡車，組一支戰術運輸隊，把西南公路這條生命線撐住；再來一招更絕的：從蘇聯路線引進五噸卡車拖車，乾脆由美軍駕駛員親自開車上路。交通部長也為卡車備件爭取到水運與空運的名額，讓每一輛上路的卡車都有零件可換。

借來的卡車，借來的路，撐起的是同一個承諾：中美並肩，長空並肩。

🛩️ [Side by Side in the Skies · Episode 10] The Bold Plan to Borrow Trucks

On March 29, 1944, Brigadier General Hearn, chief of staff at theater headquarters, wrote back to General Chennault. The letter offered no excuses, only a bold plan.

First, borrow trucks from the idle Fifth Army and build a tactical trucking unit to hold the Southwest Highway, the lifeline. Then the bolder stroke: bring in five-ton truck trailers through the Soviet route, with American GI drivers taking the wheel themselves. The Minister of Communications also secured water and airlift slots for truck spare parts, so every truck on the road would have parts to keep it rolling.

Borrowed trucks, borrowed roads, holding up the same promise: China and America, side by side.

In the spring of 1944, China was running out of fuel.

Planes sat idle on the runways. Trucks burned charcoal, stripping the hillsides bare.

Then came a daring idea: if fuel could not be flown in fast enough, why not fly in the oilfield itself? Drill rigs and pumps, loaded onto C-47 transports and airlifted over the Hump to Gansu.

The planners did the math: one bold investment of airlift, and China would pump her own oil, ending the crisis for good.

Flying drilling rigs into China sounds like a tall tale, yet it was a blueprint seriously drawn up in 1944 by allies fighting side by side.

1944年3月23日，陳納德將軍向蔣介石呈報：中國東部的空軍基地亟需增加補給線運力。一週之後，3月30日，蔣介石的回電送到陳納德的案頭。電文很短，卻擲地有聲：「關於增加中國東部你方空軍基地補給線運輸能力的一切請求，均已批准。」電報紙上還留下了第14航空隊4月4日的收文印章和中文批注。
補給線就是生命線。增運的卡車、油料和零件沿著山區公路向東馳去，送往東部前線機場。那一年，正是第14航空隊在華東上空迎擊日軍、守護防空的最關鍵時刻。
一個請求，一紙批准，一條加固的生命線。中美並肩，長空並肩。
