ABSTRACT
Because of rough terrain, poor roads and limited rail facilities in Korea, it quickly became apparent that air drops could play a major role in supplying U.S. and U.N. troops. Not only small supplies, but also major items like jeeps, trucks and howitzers. Many problems of this method of re-supply surfaced but were overcome. C-119s and C-47s were the aircraft most used in such operations. Tells of air drops to troops at the Chosin Reservoir.
