The OSS veteran and “French Chef” Julia Child died OTD 2004. Betty McIntosh, her friend and OSS colleague, wrote: “In March 1945, Julia and I both received orders to report to Kunming, China, to OSS Detachment 404. On March 15, 1945, we flew the ‘Hump’ together from India to China. The plane, an unpressurized C-54, was stormed-tossed for three hours over the 15,000-foot Himalayan peaks, sucked up and down hundreds of feet by air currents, flying through lightning and thunder, and engulfed in heavy clouds. There were occasional views of the snowfields far below where planes that hadn’t made it were etched like crosses in the whiteness. Most of us were basket cases except Julia, who calmly read a book during the flight.”
