During his years as a military adviser to the Chinese National Air Force, Sebie Smith took thousands of photos and kept a daily journal. Those records make possible this true story of the 91-year-old retired Air Force colonel, whose mechanical expertise landed him in China with Madame Chaing Kai-shek and his friend Claire Chennault in the years leading up to World War II. Part memoir, part adventure story. Hopefully Sebie's book will be available at a future date.
If you would like to share any information about Sebie Biggs Smith, please let me, Tom Moore, know.
Thanks!
