Their personnel in the early years was limited to 300 volunteers. Aircraft maintenance was critical and American mechanics were less than what was needed. . Chennault requested of Mme. and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek the assistance of Chinese Air Force mechanics to service the CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK fighter plane used to prosecute the air war against the Japanese air force. . To that end Chinese mechanics came to Kunming for training and aircraft service assistance. Under Chennault the GSS GENERAL STAFF SCHOOL a training course designed for Chinese Air Force mechanics was undertaken. .

They wear no rank or other identifying military badges. . CONDITION: The photograph is very clean with excellent focus and registry no fading or other blemishes on glossy paper. . RARITY: Photographs of American soldiers training Chinese soldiers are RARE. This excellent example shows the actual process of the training class. . REFERENCES: .
