| Bobby LA, CA | The Chinese pilots of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) were the first to use American-made "all-metal" monoplane military aircraft in real combat. This includes the P-26 "Peashooter" and the Martin B-10. Information about pilots of Asian-ethnicity in combat are scant and half-assed at best. But I do know the Chinese Air Force commited the B-10 (along with fighter escort of P-26's and Hawk II/III's) in the assault of Imperial Japanese warships in Aug-Sept of 1937. The Chinese even flew an offbeat mission over Japan with a pair of B-10's bombing a few cities with leaflets(!). Like tit-for-tat, I think that Chinese B-10 mission over Japan should've been REAL bombs if you ask me. The Chinese pilots did indeed bludgeon the Imperial invaders on land, sea, and in the air with a rag-tag assortment of Curtiss Hawk biplanes, Polikarpov monoplanes/biplanes, Boeing P-26's, Gloster Gladiators, etc. Significant milestones in aviation history that are effective ignored for whatever bigoted reasons.
