Hi Biu Tsui, Mike, and Bobby Lee,
I am the granddaughter of one of the bombardiers on page 46 (Kuo, Chi-Hwa). I am helping my father, Kuo???s son, research and came across this collection. We have the actual book but not much other information. Do any of you have more information or history that you are willing to share with me?
Thank you,
Eva Mazzeo (eva.atk.mazzeo@gmail.com)

Hello, Eva Mazzeo! I can absolutely share more information regarding your grandfather, Chinese National cadet Kuo, Chi-Hwa. My e-mail is currently down but I can send files and text via Facebook and Messenger. Please contact me at either of those locations.. Thank you!.. Xie Xie. Bobby Lee Silliman

Good Morning,
My father's name is Yao, Chun-Ming and his picture is on page 33 (in the middle of the top row of class 225). I am interested in communicating with anyone who might have and could provide additional information about my father's class (225) and the class 325 - both of Chinese cadets. I live in Hinsdale, IL which is in the west suburb of Chicago and could be reached by phone or email. Thanks!

Mike.
This is a great classbook, information wise! I have this xerox copy in my files already and I am having most of the pages enhanced for better viewing. It is a few weeks away from being completed but I wanted Tsui Biu, the son of one of these CAAF Chinese cadets, to have better images for his research. He wants to compile a bettter understanding of what all his father did while in America training to take the war back home to fight the Japanese. I recently added to my small library, the Marana Army Air Field class book "Interphone" Class 44-E. His father took pilot lessons and graduated from there but not with the 44-E class. From there he was sent to Carlsbad Army Air Field for bombardier and navigation training. He graduated with the class of 45-235
Thank you for sharing this and adding it to your one of a kind collection!
Best regrads
