Words-Eye of Scenes Flying Over the Himalayas As

Portrayed by Dick Lampkin Flight Officer Dick Lampkin, aon of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Lampkin of

Lowell, who is now flying supplies over the "hump" from India to China, haa given an unuaally vivid account of hia impresaiona over thia interesting country, on one of his first routine flights. Dick haa been overaeas about two mofiths and ia baaed in China. Hla letter fol-lows:

"As one seea things more flvldly and ao la able to describe them more palntedly when looking on them the first time, I thought I would record this impresalon of one of my Initial flighta across the "High Road."

"We are cruiaing along here at 18,000 feet, looking a little like the men from Mara as we're So jog-gled up with our oxygen masks. heavy flying suits, winter boots, etc. This may aound a bit odd, since we took off f rom lands, shad-ed by banana treea and coooanut palms; even now there's dense jungle below us In the valleys of the I r r a v \ d d y and Salween, £>cwn there we can see dense Jungle be-tween the snowy peaks rising off to our port.

"This trip is mostly a daylight flight and, ss the weather is un-troubled and clear, has the pros-pects of a very enjoyable one; The main reason being that todky we can see where we're going even when our compass needles s tar t swinging incoherently and radio Is blocked out by Japs or weather interference.
