There was indeed a CBI Depot in Bangalore from 1942 - 1945 which supported the operations to fly supplies to China "over the hump". I think it was mainly an American Army Airforce site that serviced DC3s and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddycher Posted 13 December , 2011 Author Share Posted 13 December , 2011 Thanks Centurian. Had never heard of that before. Have a ref to No.14 CBI depot being in Bangalore in a couple of 1919 Service Records around the time of the 3rd Afghan War. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddycher Posted 13 December , 2011 Author Share Posted 13 December , 2011 Centurion Thanks for this. As Bangalore was number 14 there must have been a lot of them. Will dig deeper. Anyone know what an IBD called in India ? Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
