Kunming circa 1943-1944. Large glossy photograph of U.S.A. A.F. "FLYING TIGERS" at chow in Kunming 19.4 x 24 cm. with red grease pencil:"CHOW DELUXE" in lower left corner shows U.S. personnel in the chow hall. ORIGINAL PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH . . . . A RARE ORIGINAL 1942-1944 ERA BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH . . . SHOWS "FLYING TIGER" PERSONNEL AT CHOW . . . IN KUNMING YUNNAN CHINA . The "A.V.G." AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later known as the famous "FLYING TIGERS" were conceived of and commanded by Major General Claire L. Chennault. This group was part of the "C.B.I." 'CHINA BURMA & INDIA' theater of World War 2 in Asia. . After July 1942 the command was renamed the Tenth Army Air Force A.A.F. Their headquarters were in Kunming Yunnan province western China. . The Kunming chow hall was basic: with Chinese-made rough wood tables chairs porcelain covered tin plates with many dings and broken edges per the photograph and U.S. Army utensils. . The superb and early photograph shows several "FLYING TIGERS" at chow. The food was simple but plentiful: local fried chicken rice bread brown & white walnuts green vegetables peanuts bananas grapes apples salt pepper & rice gruel soup. 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. . Seldom found genuine original period photographs of the "FLYING TIGERS" are RARE. This example appears to be a newspaper press photograph typically they used red grease pencil to highlight titles subjects or important images for pre-publication emphasis by editors. . . unknown
Kunming 192-1944. A black & white photograph very clean & excellent image no fading sheet size: 6.5 x 10.2 cm.image size: 5.4 x 5.4 cm. glossy paper strong image. VERY RARE ORIGINAL PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH . . . . A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1942-1944 PHOTOGRAPH . . . SHOWING AN AMERICAN TECHNICAL SERGEANT TRAINING . . . CHINESE AIR FORCE MECHANICS . . . ON CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK PROPELLER MAINTENANCE . . The "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later well known as the "FLYING TIGERS" were created and commanded by Major General Clarie L. 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: .
