Country:  | They certainly were. I guess you were either a great pilot or a target. Could you imagine the damage these guys could have done with some more modern planes? Although they did get some mustangs late in the war.

Country: | Well of course, like MM said, its the same with all air arms. However that doesnt detract from the fact that they were very capable pilots...

#41 | | | One thing you have to remember is the Japanese planes they faced early on were not the infamous Zero and Oscar we are familiar with. Against China in the 30's the Japanese were using those fixed landing gear "Clauds" and there own bi-planes. So bi-planes were not so badly outclassed.
Below are some images of the planes involved.

I am currently writing a novel that contrasts the 1937 - 42 war in China. I appreciate the "Aces" of China. I would like to know if British and other armies, navies, airforces helped and Who of the Chinese can be singled out as heros. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
