This site is dedicated to my father Henry Albert Barber
Jr. known as Hank to his family and friends. Hank served over 3 years
in the United States Army during WWII from August 24, 1942 to December
24, 1945. He was a member of the 1st Combat Cargo Squadron and served
in the China-Burma-India Theater for 15 months. Hank operated an airborne
transmitting and receiving set and flew 475 recorded flight hours over
the Himalayas. The flights over "The Hump" were the most treacherous
air route during WWII.
This site has many of the photos and CBI memorabilia that
Dad saved. I will continue to add his stories that he has shared with
us over the years. If you recognize any of these people or places please
email me.
