Both routes would intersect Route 128, the main highway circling Boston...
...through the air (muzzle velocity plus airplane's speed) was about 4,300 ft. per sec., but friction quickly slowed them, and gravity pulled them toward the earth. If the airplane had kept its original course, it would have passed by them, but its steepened dive made it intersect their down-curving path. When it hit them, they must have been moving so slowly that the airplane overtook them at a good fraction of its own air speed, which was about as fast as many a newly fired bullet...

With a newly built road eastward from Ledo in northern India, they would intersect the Burma Road, reopen the land route to China...
