From China's state-run media CNTV. For decades after 1949, the ruling Communist Party of China had been trying to downplay the Nationalist Party of China and its American ally's role in anti-fascist war (WW II). Finally the communist government realized that they cannot hide the truth forever.


Flying Tigers

1,500 US pilots and combatants were lost in China during WW II.

Flying Tiger Memorial Hall was opened in China in 2005.

Blood chit on a pilot coat donated to the Memorial Hall by a Flying Tiger veteran. In Chinese language it reads "This foreign person has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue and protect him".
