This painting depicts Kunming Field (In the then Republic of China), November 3, 1944. At the closing of the war, it was the busiest airport in the world. It was the most important place for receiving goods flown from India, and was a major terminal for "the Hump" trans-Himalayan transport aircraft between India and China for Tenth Air Force and Air Transport Command C-47 Skytrain and C-46 Commando aircraft. In addition, Air Technical Service Command maintained a maintenance and supply facility as the 68th Air Service Group at the base to support the airlift operations over the Himalayas.
