Jalan Raya Ledo

Jalan Raya Ledo (dari Ledo, Assam, India ke Kunming, Yunnan, Tiongkok) adalah koneksi darat antara India dan Tiongkok, dibangun selama Perang Dunia II yang memungkinkan Sekutu Barat untuk mengirim pasokan ke Tiongkok, untuk membantu upaya perang melawan Jepang — karena sebuah alternatif untuk Jalan Raya Burma menjadi wajib, yang pernah diputuskan oleh Jepang pada tahun 1942. It was renamed the Stilwell Road, after General Joseph Stilwell of the U.S. Army, in early 1945 at the suggestion of Chiang Kai-shek. It passes through the Burmese towns of Shingbwiyang, Myitkyina and Bhamo in Kachin state.^[3]

There was a sign at the start of the Ledo Road listing the distance in miles (pictured American GI's at the sign circa 1945):^[1]^[2]

Life-Line To China Re-Opened

A U.S. Army soldier and a Chinese soldier place the flag of their ally on the front of their jeep just before the first truck convoy in almost three years crossed the China border en route from Ledo, India, to Kunming, China, over the Stilwell road in 1945

"U.S.-built Army trucks wind along the side of the mountain over the Ledo supply road now open from India into Burma..."
