Book excerpt: A PICTURE JOURNEY OVER 12,000 MILES OF AIR TRANSPORT COMMAND ROUTES THROUGH JUNGLE, DESERT AND ARCTIC First published in 1944, this is the first part of a stunning book that provides an in-depth look at the far-flung operations of the Air Transport Command and Army Air Forces, and provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of America’s heroic air accomplishments. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs and sketches by Ivan Dmitri. A renowned U.S. artist and colour photography pioneer, Dmitri produced the first ever color photograph gracing the cover of the Saturday Evening Post’s edition dated May 29, 1937, and his second cover in 1944, depicting his photo of General ‘Hap’ Arnold with B-17’s flying overhead, proved so popular that the United States used the photo image to print a very rare World War II war effort poster.
