Shin, that is a brilliant piece of propaganda film production. Just re-read "Shanghai 1937: Stalingrad on the Yangtze" a grim account of that pivotal battle. At that point the Chinese were flying Curtis Hawk bi planes and Boeing Peashooters and not using them at all effectively. After the treaty with Stalin in 1938 Soviet aid and volunteer pilots started flowing in ... and the film you posted would be from that period. Getting the planes and crew to China was very problematic ... as tough as the Alaska air route to Russia post 1941.

Very informative, MM.
Thanks for sharing and the term "propaganda film production" gets to the point well.

Families of Kao Chi-Hang and Yue Yi-Chin were abused terribly by Chinese communists when they took power in 1949.
In spite of it, they are now proud of these heroes as if their own. Taiwan poster says "This is exaggerated. Just for references."
The name Yue Yi-Chin is writen as 樂以琴, not 乐以琴, in Taiwan ROC.
 
Another ROC topic.

Lin Zhi-Hui (林智惠 1926- )

She served in the Imperial Japanese Army as a nurse from Taiwan during the ww2.
A Taiwanese TV drama "智子之心" which introduced her life with friendly Japanese in last week has become controversial between the continent and the island.

I agree with you, MM.
More than a hundred years ago, Chinese revolutionists like Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek tied up with Japan to overthrow the Qing dynasty. Japanese thought Chiang was a friend but later turned out that he was a mere 媚日(mei ri).
This was a bitter experience for the Japanese.
