World War Two: When 600 US planes crashed in Himalayas

2 days ago

Pilots called the flight route "The Hump" - a nod to the treacherous heights of the eastern Himalayas

A newly opened museum in India houses the remains of American planes that crashed in the Himalayas during World War Two. The BBC's Soutik Biswas recounts an audaciously risky aerial operation that took place when the global war arrived in India.

Since 2009, Indian and American teams have scoured the mountains in India's north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, looking for the wreckage and remains of lost crews of hundreds of planes that crashed here over 80 years ago.

Some 600 American transport planes are estimated to have crashed in the remote region, killing at least 1,500 airmen and passengers during a remarkable and often-forgotten 42-month-long World War Two military operation in India. Among the casualties were American and Chinese pilots, radio operators and soldiers.

Has India's contribution to WW2 been ignored?

The operation sustained a vital air transport route from the Indian states of Assam and Bengal to support Chinese forces in Kunming and Chungking (now called Chongqing).

The war between Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) and the Allies (France, Great Britain, the US, the Soviet Union, China) had reached the north-eastern part of British-ruled India. The air corridor became a lifeline following the Japanese advance to India's borders, which effectively closed the land route to China through northern Myanmar (then known as Burma).

The US military operation, initiated in April 1942, successfully transported 650,000 tonnes of war supplies across the route - an achievement that significantly bolstered the Allied victory.

This operation sustained a vital air transport route from India to support Chinese forces in Kunming and Chunking

Pilots dubbed the perilous flight route "The Hump", a nod to the treacherous heights of the eastern Himalayas, primarily in today's Arunachal Pradesh, that they had to navigate.

Over the past 14 years Indo-American teams comprising mountaineers, students, medics, forensic archaeologists and rescue experts have ploughed through dense tropical jungles and scaled altitudes reaching 15,000ft (4,572m) in Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Myanmar and China. They have included members of the US Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), the US agency that deals with soldiers missing in action.

The forgotten Indian soldiers of Dunkirk

With help from local tribespeople their month-long expeditions have reached crash sites, locating at least 20 planes and the remains of several missing-in-action airmen.

It is a challenging job - a six-day trek, preceded by a two-day road journey, led to the discovery of a single crash site. One mission was stranded in the mountains for three weeks after it was hit by a freak snowstorm.

"From flat alluvial plains to the mountains, it's a challenging terrain. Weather can be an issue and we have usually only the late fall and early winter to work in," says William Belcher, a forensic anthropologist involved in the expeditions.

A machine gun, pieces of debris, a camera: some of the recovered artefacts at the newly opened museum

Discoveries abound: oxygen tanks, machine guns, fuselage sections. Skulls, bones, shoes and watches have been found in the debris and DNA samples taken to identify the dead. A missing airman's initialled bracelet, a poignant relic, exchanged hands from a villager who recovered it in the wreckage. Some crash sites have been scavenged by local villagers over the years and the aluminium remains sold as scrap.

These and other artefacts and narratives related to these doomed planes now have a home in the newly opened The Hump Museum in Pasighat, a scenic town in Arunachal Pradesh nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas.

US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, inaugurated the collection on 29 November, saying, "This is not just a gift to Arunachal Pradesh or the impacted families, but a gift to India and the world." Oken Tayeng, director of the museum, added: "This is also a recognition of all locals of Arunachal Pradesh who were and are still an integral part of this mission of respecting the memory of others".

The museum starkly highlights the dangers of flying this route. In his vivid memoirs of the operation, Maj Gen William H Tunner, a US Air Force pilot, remembers navigating his C-46 cargo plane over villages on steep slopes, broad valleys, deep gorges, narrow streams and dark brown rivers.

Wreckage of many planes has been found in the mountains in recent years

The flights, often navigated by young and freshly trained pilots, were turbulent. The weather on The Hump, according to Tunner, changed "from minute to minute, from mile to mile": one end was set in the low, steamy jungles of India; the other in the mile-high plateau of western China.

Heavily loaded transport planes, caught in a downdraft, might quickly descend 5,000ft, then swiftly rise at a similar speed. Tunner writes about a plane flipping onto its back after encountering a downdraft at 25,000ft.

Spring thunderstorms, with howling winds, sleet, and hail, posed the greatest challenge for controlling planes with rudimentary navigation tools. Theodore White, a journalist with Life magazine who flew the route five times for a story, wrote that the pilot of one plane carrying Chinese soldiers with no parachutes decided to crash-land after his plane got iced up.

The co-pilot and the radio operator managed to bail out and land on a "great tropical tree and wandered for 15 days before friendly natives found them". Local communities in remote villages often rescued and nursed wounded survivors of the crashes back to health. (It was later learnt that the plane had landed safely and no lives had been lost.)

Does Nolan's Dunkirk ignore the role of the Indian army?

Not surprisingly, the radio was filled with mayday calls. Planes were blown so far off course they crashed into mountains pilots did not even know were within 50 miles, Tunner remembered. One storm alone crashed nine planes, killing 27 crew and passengers. "In these clouds, over the entire route, turbulence would build up of a severity greater than I have seen anywhere in the world, before or since," he wrote.

Parents of missing airmen held out the hope that their children were still alive. "Where is my son? I'd love the world to know/Has his mission filled and left the earth below?/Is he up there in that fair land, drinking at the fountains, or is he still a wanderer in India's jungles and mountains?" wondered Pearl Dunaway, the mother of a missing airman, Joseph Dunaway, in a poem in 1945.

The China-bound US transport planes took off from airbases in India's Assam

The missing airmen are now the stuff of legend. "These Hump men fight the Japanese, the jungle, the mountains and the monsoons all day and all night, every day and every night the year round. The only world they know is planes. They never stop hearing them, flying them, patching them, cursing them. Yet they never get tired of watching the planes go out to China," recounted White.

The operation was indeed a daredevil feat of aerial logistics following the global war that reached India's doorstep. "The hills and people of Arunachal Pradesh were drawn into the drama, heroism and tragedies of the World War Two by the Hump operation," says Mr Tayeng. It's a story few know.

Why is Aluminium Formwork the Focus of High-rise Buildings?

aluminium formwork is a building formwork made of aluminum alloy, also known as aluminum alloy formwork. It has a complete set of general accessories for use, and can be assembled into integral formwork with complex dimensions of different sizes. The system formwork for assembly and industrial construction solves the defects of traditional formwork in the past and greatly improves the construction efficiency.

Advantages of applying aluminium formwork technology in high-rise buildings

1. The aluminium formwork technology does not require the assistance of mechanical equipment during construction, and only needs to manually splicing and installing the aluminium formwork, which reflects the characteristics of convenient operation.

2. The aluminium formwork has a strong load-bearing capacity. Compared with the general formwork, it can withstand more pressure, which provides a guarantee for the stability of the building, thereby reducing the occurrence of potential safety hazards during the construction process.

3. aluminium formwork is widely used, and its construction does not have too many conditions. After the splicing is completed, the gap at the joint is small and the application rate is high. Simplicity and invulnerability to reuse.

The comprehensive benefits of aluminium formwork

1. Technical aspects: The use of 3D technology can convert buildings and structures drawn from traditional two-dimensional planes into three-dimensional models, express and communicate visually, discover design errors in advance, and reduce unnecessary changes and rework.

2. In terms of progress: using aluminummolds for 3 days/layer, and using wooden molds for 5-6 days/layer, the progress is faster and the cost is effectively controlled.

3. Management: the use of aluminium formwork management personnel is reduced by half compared with the traditional formwork, and the process management is less simple than the traditional wooden formwork, which promotes scientific construction and refined management.

4. In terms of quality: the top plate is flat, the yin and yang corners are square, the walls are vertical, and the beams are straight.

5. Safety aspects: the vertical transportation of the upper and lower transfer formwork has less safety hazards, and avoids the safety risk in the process of using the unloading platform, reducing the safety risk of tower crane transportation.

6. Civilized construction: the use of aluminium formwork to remove the formwork, less construction waste, easy floor cleaning, civilized construction standards, environmental protection and resource conservation.

7. Indirect costs: The rental and management costs of accessories and machinery are reduced accordingly, thereby improving economic benefits.

The materials used in traditional formwork construction are usually disposable materials, which do not conform to the modern concept of saving resources and increase the cost. Compared with traditional construction, aluminium formwork technology has the characteristics of being reusable. In essence, it saves resources, and can also be applied in high-rise buildings, even in the construction of complex environments. aluminium formwork construction technology can effectively improve construction efficiency, ensure construction quality, and improve the accuracy of construction projects. Instead of being eco-friendly, it plays a role in construction and ensures the standards and quality of construction projects.Aluminium Formwork MachineSupplier in China and Aluminium Formwork Machine Manufacturer in China

Most Popular Tooling Materials in Injection Moulding and Their Typical Tool Life

When it comes to injection moulding, the mould tool is the most critical and costly component in the process. There are many tooling material options to choose from: aluminium, soft and semi-hardened steel, and hardened steel. While mould makers like HLH can assist you in choosing a suitable tooling material for your project, it’s worth gaining a basic foundation and understanding your options to avoid costly errors, waste, and defects down the road.

In this article, we will look at the most popular steel and aluminium tooling options available for plastic injection moulding, their typical tool life, the pros and cons of each, and scenarios in which each is best to use.

Popular Tooling Material Options for Injection Moulding

Aluminium

S50C

P20

NAK80

H12

S136

1. Aluminium

Aluminium (AL) is often used as a quick and lower-cost alternative to steel tooling. AL has good machinability and excellent heat transfer properties (cools quickly and efficiently), which makes it a good option for prototyping and low-volume production runs. A main drawback is that the tooling life is generally shorter, and not all grades of plastics are suited for aluminium tooling; for instance, materials that require high mould temperatures.

Soft tooling option.

Commonly used for prototype and low-volume tooling — with an average life of 10,000 shots depending on the grade and part complexity.

Easy to machine and offers excellent turnaround times.

Less durable than steel tooling and not suited to plastics that require high mould temperatures like polyetherimide (PEI), polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or polysulfone (PSU).

2. S50C

S50C is a ‘soft’ steel option that is especially popular in China for prototype tooling. It is a great for general applications and a good alternative to aluminium. However, if the part material or surface finish calls for a hardier tool, P20 steel is used.

Soft steel.

Commonly used for rapid tooling tooling applications — with an average life of 50,000 shots or less depending on the grade and part complexity.

Less expensive than P20 steel.

Less durable than P20 and not suitable for materials with abrasive additives.

Pro Tip: You can often get Chinese tools like S50C and P20 at the price of an aluminium tool. Most Chinese tool shops prefer working with steel tools for rapid tooling because they are harder, more robust, and easier to weld.

3. P20

P20 is a ‘soft’ steel often used as a standard steel tooling option and is the first choice for materials without abrasive additives. For prototype or development tooling, P20 steel offers several advantages over aluminium: it is stronger, more durable and offers a longer tool life; it is less costly; and it is generally more resistant to scratching than aluminium. A main drawback is that P20 is not very resistant to erosion or chemical corrosion, which can impact its tool life.

Soft steel.

Commonly used for prototype tooling and intermediate quantities — with an average life of 50,000 cycles or more, depending on the part’s geometry and tolerances.

P20 is harder and more durable than aluminium, with approximately a 5x longer tooling life.

May require coatings or surface treatment to protect against corrosion and erosion.

P20 Application Case Study: HLH Rapid Uses P20 Steel Tool For SOL Reader’s E-Ink Glasses.

 4. NAK80

NAK80 is a semi-hardened tool steel typically used for more demanding applications. NAK80 is typically used for higher quality parts and transparent and high-gloss components. It also works better with resins with glass fibers or hard, engineering-grade plastics like Delrin or Aceral (POM). Although it’s more corrosion resistant than P20, one key drawback is that it takes longer to machine.

Hardened steel.

Commonly used for bridge tooling and production tooling — with a typical tool life of 300,000 to 500,000 shots.

NAK80 takes polishing well, and produces optically clear and high glossy parts.

Costs more than P20 steel tool and typically takes 20-25% longer to produce.

5. H13

H13 is a ‘strong’ steel that is robust and have exceptional resistant to heat. It is most commonly used for high production quantity tooling and to address wear when running abrasive materials. H13 also works well for materials that require high tool temperatures like polyamide-imide (PAI), PEEK, and liquid crystal polymer (LCP).

Strong steel.

Commonly used for high volume runs of several hundred thousand to 1 million cycles.

H13 is best for aggressive resins and optical parts made of clear plastic like acrylic (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC).

More expensive than P20 and NAK80 steel.

6. S136

S136 is stainless steel that offers excellent hardness and is mainly used for speciality cases in high production tooling. It has good corrosion resistance, which makes it good for corrosive environments or materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polypropylene (PP). It also has excellent polishability and is a good choice for large-size precision parts. The main drawback is that S136 costs the most and has the lowest thermal efficiency, so unless you require a high production run, it may not financially make sense.

Hard stainless steel.

Commonly used for high volume runs of 1 million or more.

S136 is best for corrosive plastic materials like PVC and PP.

Most expensive steel tooling option among the five options.

The Typical Tooling Game Plan at HLH

Typically, our clients begin with single-cavity S50C or P20 steel tools for prototyping and developmental applications—S50C for our rapid tools and P20 if the part material or surface finish calls for a hardier tool. For applications requiring engineer-grade or glass fibre resins, or for moulds necessitating a higher level of polishing, NAK80 steel is preferred.

Often, for niche market or specialized products, P20 or NAK80 steels may be all the client needs to satisfy demand. These steels require a lower investment than full production tooling, helping customers minimize costs in the early stages and get initial products to market faster.

If the product demand is high and where it makes sense, customers may move on to H13 or other hardened steel, production multi-cavity tooling.
