That was another nickname for "The Hump".

My dad was an instrument tech. He wanted to fly but had false teeth. The Army Air Corp said they could be a potential communications problem if they fell out during aerial combat or rough weather.All I have is his photo ID badge and a few letters he sent home to his mother.

The reason I posted this is I'm 'so' drawn to the 1940's, especially the War Era. I love the music, the styles,and just about everything except the cars. I wouldn't turn down a Cord roadster though.

Sorry you lost your father at such a young age. I was lucky to have mine until I was 35.
