From a March 19, 1943 report from H.M. Bixby (prepared by Owen F. Johnson) to Mr. W.S. Youngman, China Defense Supplies, Inc., 1601 V Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.: "CNAC has a total of 175 (radio) operators which is sufficient to man all aircraft and ground stations. Additional personnel are also available from Chinese Government schools." So, from this report and the small number of radio operators listed on this page, one can see that we have lots of folks yet to identify. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Added note...I would guess that 95% to 99% of the radio operators would be guys from China or of Chinese decent that could speak Chinese and English. This would be critical in their positions as radio operators. |
