CHINESE AIR FORCE
HUNDREDS OF JAPANESE VICTIMS CHUNGKING, Aug. 15. Since the outbreak of hostilities on July 7, 1937, Japan has lost over 1400 planes in China, including 501 shot down by Chinese planes. These figures were given by an air force spokesman.
General J. Stilwell, decorating Chinese heroes of the 1942 Burma campaign, declared that the Allies have all the men necessary for victory. “ Our objective is to open the Burma Road—China’s lifeline. The Chinese are dependng on us, and we must not fail them,” he said.
