艰难的“驼峰”飞越

Hardships of Flighting Over the “Hump”

在第二次世界大战中后期,尤其是在太平洋战争爆发之后,从印度阿萨姆邦的汀江到中国昆明的"驼峰"航线成为中国与外界联系的重要通道,被称为中国的"空中生命线"。但因为航线飞越地区恶劣的自然环境,航线设施落后,加之日本战机的拦截,以及美国"先欧后亚"的战略,使得飞越这条航线变得异常艰难。因此,这条航线在当时又被称为"空中地域"。

During the middle and later period of the WWII,especially when the Pacific War started,the ＂hump＂air route from Assam of India to Kunming of China was a very import rout for China to communicate outside world,and thus called ＂the lifeline in the air＂.However,the route was very difficult with tough natural environment,the blockade of imperial Japanese fighters,and America＇s ＂Europe First and Asia Second＂strategy. Therefore,this airline was called the ＂hell in the air＂.
