June 1944-May 1945
59th Service Group, 377th Air Service Squadron
chabua- Mohanbari, Assam Valley, India
May 1945-February 1946
44th Service Group, 498th Air Service Squadron
Din Jan, India.
In October 1946, after the war ended,
the entre Group transferred
to Panagarh, 100 miles west of Calcutta
Panagarh was a collecting point where
aircraft was being prepared for shipment to China.
The work had hardly begun when it was abrutly stopped.
The word that we got was that under the terms of the
Yalta Agreement with Russia, made several months earlier
with Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin as signatories., no
military equipment could be transferred even to Allied Countries.
Since Stalin certainly did not want to see China gain strength
I would suspect that was the reason for it.
