Forgotten Facts

 A primary source of information for this site was The Ledo Road by Leslie Anders, published by the University of Oklahoma Press. This book is an excellent source of information about the building of the Ledo Road.

 On these pages you will see some facts about the building of the Ledo Road, including the cost in dollars and more importantly, American lives.

 You will see numbers supporting the fact that the Ledo Road was quite an engineering accomplishment, made even more so by the fact that it was built in wartime in the battle zone of northern Burma.

 Also included are symbols from the CBI Theater, a chart showing distances along the road, a never used Driver's Award, and a Corps. of Engineers recruiting poster.
