Chennault headquarters in Kunming Yunnan China. . The "A.V.G." and "FLYING TIGERS" were part of the "C.B.I." "CHINA BURMA & INDIA" theater of World War 2 in Asia. 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. . This photograph is a very rare original example of an American technical sergeant training five Chinese mechanics. They are under a make-shift roof against the barracks at the Kunming airport headquarters of the "FLYING TIGERS." . This exact brick structure appears in several other period photographs of this and other similar buildings used to house and feed Army Air Force personnel. A Chinese officer at the immediate far right looks on as the class progresses. . The technical sergeant holds a P-40 propeller part with other related parts and tools on the training table. There is another aircraft part resting on the floor near the table leg. . In the background tacked to the brick wall is a training chart showing a blow-up of other P-40 parts. . The five Chinese Air Force students wear khaki shirt shorts with a name tag on each. Most wear wrist watches a symbol of some affluence during the sparse years of the 1937 Sino-Japanese war. 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: .

The superb and early photograph shows several "FLYING TIGERS" at chow.

This "Chow Deluxe" was a later development in Kunming after the barracks and mess hall were built by the Chinese. . The personnel wear the typical "U.S. ARMY AIR FORCE" gold wings against a blue back ground round right-shoulder patch. On the left shoulder is the "C.B.I." unit patch in blue white & red. See photos posted to our website especially for the soldier in illus01.jpg who wears the above two patches. . Several personnel wear olive drab shirt and trousers khaki shirt and trousers and officer's khaki tunics. Mechanics clerks aircraft maintenance and other support people populate the mess hall. .
