Recovering Fuel From Crashed Nationalist-marked B-25

Member of 12th Air Service Group recovering fuel from crashed Nationalist-marked B-25: "Gasoline was a precious commodity in China. All the gas we received had to be flown over the Hump from India into China. This picture shows some members of the 396th pumping gasoline out of the wing tanks of a crashed B-25. With the supply situation of everything having to flown over the Hump nothing was wasted and all serviceable parts were salvaged." Caption courtesy of Elmer Bukey.
