Great story,
I don't think we will ever know the best pilots that ever lived.

On the first page of the article, a Paul Robinson is mentioned. Paul was one of our early Wing Leaders of the Dixie Wing CAF. Its my understanding Paul passed on sometime back. Thanks for the thread, interesting article. I hope someday thoses pilots get their proper credit.

An excellent read about this Chinese airline is 'China Pilot' by Felix Smith.
