OK, I'll try to check at lunch. Maybe I shouldn't have sold copy # 3 of the
Grey Bible, that way I could keep one at my desk ;)

It *is* the Burma road truck, silly :) Just picture it with a big steel
cargo box on the back. Those must have been interesting convoys, eh? 500
miles as the crow flies, 1000 road miles. My grandfather in-law flew C-47's
over 'The Hump' in WWII. Wish he was still around to tell the stories...
