Nugget90 (your #8228),
My only contact with the Liberators was with 159 Squadron at Salbani ( not far from Digri in W. Bengal). Only thing I remember is being told that, if the brakes failed on landing, the thing would roll for eleven miles (on a level, smooth surface) before stopping. For some reason that statistic has taken root in my memory ever since. Don't know Dhubalia.
Now:
... to fly Dakotas (C47s) in support of the Army 'over the Hump' due to the pressing need to keep supplies flowing to where they were needed. They flew mainly to Indawgyi Lake, Imphal and Mogaung...
Only about 400 miles further on over the southern end of the Tien-Shan range to Kunming (China) "where they were needed" (to keep Chiang-Kai-Shek in the war). Could do it easily in a 'Dak' from any of the three places.
