CHENG YUAN LEE: When I was seventeen years old, I was a second year in University. I always wanted to become an airman or a pilot, so I joined the Chinese Air Force. The Chinese Air Force sent me to the Communications School and I become radio technician, graduated 1936. The second year, 1937, five of us Chinese Air Force Officers, one Captain, three First Lieutenants and I'm Second Lieutenant, we received our orders to meet a very important person. We went to Shanghai, that's the first time we met General Chennault and since then five of us worked with him almost until end of the war. Today, Colonel Shu, he is interpreter, he is in the States and here in Taiwan, I'm the only one. The other three they sacrificed for the country. FRANK BORING: You studied as a Communications Officer, if you could explain in more detail what you learned during that period of time. Once again, before you met Chennault. CHENG YUAN LEE: Actually after I graduated from the communications school, I had only a few months of experience with the Chinese Air Force. To tell you the truth I don't even quite know exactly what kind of equipment we had in the Air Force, but when General Chennault came, we set up the advisory office. He was our advisor then. Then �he began to talk to all of us and he told us that his being in China was trying to help the Chinese Air Force to build up the combat capability. Then he told me he said "Henry, the most important thing for the Air Force today is to have a sound air defense system." At that time really true I don't even know what air defense system is. Then he said - he gave me an idea. Once we see the group of communication officers and men to help, we beginning to look what kind of equipment we have in the Air Force and what kind of equipment the whole country had. Tell the truth, those days we have very little equipment. We had very few radio stations and then we had very good crank telephone. Now some of the city and village equipped with telephone, quite few. A few of the village - maybe one village have only one crank telephone, so he gave us an idea. He said if we wanted to defend our Air Force the very first thing we have to have good information, accurate information. Then we could decide to tell our fighters, our pilots how to defend the invading enemy. So after about one week, we searched all over the places in the whole country and we got a little idea of what we had. Then General Chennault and a few of us started trying to sketch out what actually he wants. Then we come up first air defense net and those days we called it "The Spider's Web" with a radio station as the center and with all the villages and towns around it - was a circle about 150 kilometers. Some maybe 70 kilometers to the center, some maybe 150. Exactly looked like a spider's web. When the people in the village and the city, see the aircraft or heard the sound of the aircraft, they used the crank telephone and called in to the radio station to report. If they see the aircraft they would say "Heavy Aircraft", in those days they don't know whether it's a fighter, a bomber or what, but if they see a bigger aircraft they say "heavy aircraft" and they see a single engine one they say "lighter aircraft" then they tell us how many, about how high and that's what we get at the beginning. And lots of times when the aircraft above the clouds, they just say "I hear aircraft noise but that's all." Then when we collect all this information, the radio station would broadcast - it was open broadcast so the other net would hear and that's the way we passed �the air alert system. Then the second system we worked on had a very large net and we put up a flag pole. On the flag pole we usually had the first flag is heavy or light aircraft, the second flag would indicate the number of aircraft, and the third was the altitude of all the aircraft. When the first initial information came, we set that pole on the city on the map then every five minutes an arrow on the map. It indicated the aircraft goes direction. Then on the map two arrows, the gap of two arrows it tells you how fast the aircraft are. If the two arrows are very close we know that's slow aircraft and if the gap is very wide, we know that's a fast aircraft. That's the second part of the defense net. Then third is when we decide to have the fighters take off. At the beginning we draw a circle of 150 kilometers from the center. When the enemy reach 150 kilometers we would have all the aircraft start their engines. Then when the aircraft approach about 100 kilometer to the center, then that's an order to take off. At the same time the city and the town will have air raid ball and those days we called - the Chinese call Jing bow. Then we have three ball to indicate the stage of the raid. When the first ball goes up people know the aircraft is about 150 kilometer from us, when the second ball goes up they hear the aircraft take off and also they know that the enemy is closing in, when three ball comes up, usually the people call red ball - red hot - everybody runs like anything to get away from their home or work or whatever, there's no protection. Now consists of those three parts: the recording system, the plotting system and the Jing bow system, the air raid system, put together that's the prototype of first world air defense system. And this is how we would [?] and for about two weeks we figured out and actually when the war starts it works beautiful. It surprised the Japanese, because the first raid the Japanese had six bombers to bomb Nanking, our airfield at Nanking. Four were shot down right in Nanking out of the six and it sure surprised the Japanese. They thought the Chinese were very weak. They don't think that we have any capability to be able to fight them. But it surprised them the first raid at least four were shot down. Now believe the other two were injured also. So the next Japanese worry is they gonna find out how the Chinese �operate so effectively and this is involved - I got in almost bombed. General Chennault, when he talked to the Chinese Air Force, (General Chu) and a group of high ranking officers, the very first meeting they had everybody know the possibility of Japanese invasion. So they decide to purchase some radio equipment for the aircraft and those days the very first group of communication equipment we received was 60 sets of (Phillip) airborne equipment. Then Colonel Chennault told me, he said "Henry, get as many people as you could and do the fastest job as you can to install all those equipment on the aircraft." And those days we have the Hawk II, Hawk III and Boeing P-12. The most of the Chinese Air Force are Hawk II and Hawk III with very few P-12. Then we had only 60 radio sets, not enough for all the aircraft, so General Chennault told me, he said "Henry, install one radio set in every 3 aircraft." Those days the formation flight for fighters and bombers were all in flights of three, so we would have one radio set in each flight, so that the leader could receive the combat instructions. We worked day and night. A group of us about 125 people, we worked day and night and we completed within one month. We had them all operating very effectively and at the same time General Chennault told me to install a portable transmitter in one of our station wagons. In those days the Chinese Air Force only had two station wagons, so we installed it in one first and then later on we got a second one. Then General Chennault told me, he said "Henry, you got my idea, now you go look for your own site. Where you think is the best site for the transmitter. It's a [?] just find one." So I made a surveillance around Nanking and actually I set up five antenna in five different places. The first antenna I installed on Purple Gold Mountain, which is I think the west side of Nanking, it's been so long now I forgot the location. Then I found two huge rocks, I set up the antenna on the rock. The very first raid, the Japanese - six bombers came in and General Chennault gave me the order through the telephone and I translated into Chinese to tell our fighters how high they should go and which direction they should go and I tell you it really surprised me that first raid. All our fighters got on the bombers and four were shot �down out of six. The Japanese were very surprised. How come the Chinese are so effective? And they want to know how the fighters be able to jump on the bombers as soon as they come into the circle of Nanking. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CHENG YUAN LEE: I learned my English in school (break) FRANK BORING: Where did you learn to speak English? CHENG YUAN LEE: I learned English in school and University. During the time I was seventeen years old, I always dreamed and wanted to become in the Air Force, so that year I went into Chinese Air Force and they sent me to the communications school. Although I wanted to be a pilot but they sent me to communications school. After training, the next year I was commissioned as Sub-Lieutenant. FRANK BORING: The reason why I learned English - like that. CHENG YUAN LEE: When I was seventeen years old, I joined the Chinese Air Force. They sent me to the Communications School and English is a part of our class because we had to speak over the radio by English and we also sent message by English and this is a part of our training. FRANK BORING: You've mentioned about Nanking and the spiders net around Nanking. Now this was somewhere around 1937. When Chennault first came there he had to work with whatever was in the Chinese �Air Force at that time, were you around when the Jouett, the American Jouett mission came through, or the Italians, the Russians or any of that? CHENG YUAN LEE: Actually we had five advisors. Now Jouett and all of them in Hong Chow, the flying school. Every now and then they came up to Nanking. For a short period of time, General Chennault and us went to Hong Chow also, but most of our time we were all in Nanking. FRANK BORING: Were you familiar with any of the other missions that came out to work with the Chinese Air Force, the Italians, the Russians, any of those groups? CHENG YUAN LEE: We had met many of them, but to tell you the truth when I was about sixty years old I had meningitis. My memory is pretty poor unless a lot of article I read all the times, otherwise a lot of the people's names and their face I have almost forgotten. FRANK BORING: Well let's stay in Nanking then. After the bombings of Nanking, did you stay in Nanking in '37 - ‘38? If you could continue about the story of Nanking. CHENG YUAN LEE: After the first air raid, the Japanese was very surprised at the Chinese combat capability and especially they were very worried about our defense intelligence system, so they want to know how we got the information of them and how accurate information we use. Then the second raid. After the second raid General Chennault told me, he said "Henry, you cannot go back to that same spot again. The Japanese might come in and get you." It's true. The third time six fighters were coming after me and I think the Japanese spy system must have been very effective - how they spot me on top of the mountain. They come in and strafe me and as I told you, I had the station wagon right in between the two huge rocks, so I just running around that big rock. They did not get me nor my equipment and after that raid General Chennault told me, �he said "Henry, you cannot go back to that place again. They're gonna have dive bomber on you." So the next I went to a different site and then I changed the site all the time. They never got me. And this is the first stage of the Japanese air raid. Pretty soon they coming, not only bomber but fighters and then we were kind of defeated because they had the super fighters. They have better maneuvering, better speed and so gradually, gradually we lost the battle. This convinced General Chennault that he must obtain some better aircraft from the United States. So he went back to States and tried many time. Often times he came back and he said "Well, Henry I bumped into wall." He failed many times. Finally we got the 100 P-40's - so called 100 - actually we be able to put together no more than 50 and those we get from the British Air Force, at Rangoon we put them together. FRANK BORING: Okay we're gonna talk about that in more detail later. Could you tell us about what happened after the Japanese had pretty much eliminated the Chinese Air Force because they had superior planes at that time. Did you have to leave Nanking - is this the period of time called "The Rape of Nanking?" CHENG YUAN LEE: We withdraw from Nanking - I have to think about it because I really have poor memory. FRANK BORING: You're doing very well. There was a period… CHENG YUAN LEE: We already left. (break) CHENG YUAN LEE: Then as time goes on, we beginning lose the battle. Day by day we have suffered more and more heavy losses of our fighters. General Chennault met every flight that comes in after the raid and then we all sit down together to hear their story to learn what their difficulties and we trying to solve all the problems. I believe one tactic that General Chennault invented was two and two formation �and those days, at the beginning we call the scissors tactic. As we have learned from the combat pilots, they told General Chennault that the flight of three when they get into combat, the wing man is always kind of tied up. If one be able to maneuver freely then the other one is kind of have his eye or hands tied up. (break) FRANK BORING: So the pilots are saying this is what happened and it all came out. CHENG YUAN LEE: After every battle, the General would sit down and talk to everyone and this is how the scissors tactics was amended. He then after quite some time of studying and talking to the pilots, he finally come up with a solution, to have the fighters take off two and two, instead of three and also maintain information two and two. In those days we call it the scissors tactics. If the right two is attacked by enemy, the left two would turn around and head on to the enemy. If the left two was attacked by enemy, the right two would turn around head on the enemy. If both are attacked by the enemy, then both turn around and head on to the enemy. It really protected our fighters a lot because those days the Japanese have the superior aircraft and this way it really cut our losses to much lower than they were. Now I believe this two system - the first is a spider web system and the second we call scissors system. Even today, although much improved, but still all over the world use this two system as main part of air defense system. FRANK BORING: Could you tell us about the last days of Nanking, especially how the airplanes were slowly being dwindled - you're losing more and more and how you had to escape? CHENG YUAN LEE: General Chennault was very worried about we losing all our fighters and about 2 to 3 months before we lost Nanking, all our Air Force had moved westward towards Hankow and in those days we have only about half of Air Force left over, so he went back to States. He's trying to help the Chinese Air Force to purchase some new aircraft. But often he comes back and he says "Henry, I'm so �sorry I have bumped into wall." And finally we got the P-40's. At that time I think we have almost lost the big portion of our air strength and in a few months we have almost no capability to defend our cities. Then from Hankow we withdraw to Chunking. Then soon we got the word that we will have the P-40's. Now before the P-40's came to China, we had a few - the prototype of the P-40. You call it the P-36. They are fixed landing gear. The prototype of P-40. Those P-36 came in about one squadron and we had two squadron pilots trained for the P-36 and that time General Chennault told me, he said "Henry, I want you to be a pilot because I like you that you are so patriotic and brave because during air raid everybody run away for air raid and you stay on the job. So I want you to be a pilot." And this is how I get into flying. FRANK BORING: When did you first hear and what was your reaction to the fall of Nanking? CHENG YUAN LEE: Nanking falls after Shanghai fallen. The Japanese move into Nanking. They sure did a mass killing. They often - not only occasional once or twice - they often gave commands to people to dig a hole, a huge hole, and then said to the people, now you all jump in. The people jump in then they have other people come in to fill in with the dirt on the people. They just buried them alive. The Japanese did that many places in Nanking. They sure had hurt the Chinese people. So far of the ones I know, my age, very few people can forget what the Japanese have done to us. They killing our people by thousands and thousands. Some people in Nanking we know have told us that they are the few that survived and they said more than 2/3 of the people in the city either buried, shelled, or wounded. And this is what the Japanese had done to our people in Nanking. FRANK BORING: What was your reaction personally and what did you observe Chennault's reaction to be when you got the news about Shanghai and Nanking? �CHENG YUAN LEE: Really true. Two United States military Generals I respect very much. One is General Chennault and second one is General MacArthur. They really loved the people they helped. They loved the people like their own son and daughter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CHENG YUAN LEE: General Chennault he's not a very talkative person. Lots of times he's quiet, but you can see that if he feels very sad and sorry, he will sit himself in the room by himself for quite some time and then sometimes even he lost his appetite. Now many times our Air Force was defeated, that's the way he acts and this is how in the beginning we learned how much he loved our people and in turn, I can tell you this, almost every one of the Chinese people - most of them are uneducated and when people mention General Chennault to them, they would say "Ting How" that means Number One. FRANK BORING: There's the rumor that has been talked about by many, many people. We asked the same question of Colonel P.Y. Hsu. (break) FRANK BORING: Just the last part about the Chinese people being uneducated - feel about General Chennault? CHENG YUAN LEE: Most of our people are not quite educated, but they all know General Chennault and if we mention it to them they will say "Ting How." �(break) CHENG YUAN LEE: Most of the Chinese people are not quite well-educated but however, they love General Chennault and if we mention it to them "Chen a De" they will say "Ting How." FRANK BORING: We asked this same question of P.Y. Hsu and I want your own personal experience. Did Claire Chennault ever fight in battle? CHENG YUAN LEE: No. (break) CHENG YUAN LEE: During the period of war while all of us Chinese were with General Chennault, he did some fine, but never he engaged in any combat. This is what I know and I think all five of us would say the same. FRANK BORING: I want to finish up Nanking. When you first heard about the atrocities that happened - the buried alive and you had personal friends there, what was your - internally, inside - what was your personal reaction to that? CHENG YUAN LEE: When first I heard the tragedy in Nanking - because we used to stay in Nanking for quite a while and we are thinking of our friends there and I tell you, it really hurts me. Before the war, I never hate anyone. But after I heard - and actually I saw the pictures, the movie and the pictures - it really hurts me. When I saw the pictures I had tears in my eyes because we were in Nanking almost two years - a little over two years. And then later on when I get married, my wife and I stayed in Nanking another year and we heard very often the native people told us how they suffered through, how they lost their dearest ones and some of the spots we actually walked over there and went over there and paid our respects to the dead ones. �FRANK BORING: After you left Nanking, where did you go and could you describe what you were doing at that time? CHENG YUAN LEE: Since our defense system been so effective, so General Chennault he never want me to go away from my job. To tell you the truth, for almost 2-1/2 years I hadn't had one day off from my work and he knew that and he had it written in his book the way of a fighter. I'm the one that always stay on job and this is how he wants me to be a pilot and this is how I get my wings in the United States. FRANK BORING: Now when you left Nanking, where did you go? CHENG YUAN LEE: Nanking - then we went to Hankow for about two months, then to Hengyang. Hengyang I stay there about 3 months, then went to Chunking. In those days our transportation was very bad, very poor and we almost have very little air transportation. So all the traveling I had to done by truck. That's probably the most effective transportation we had those days and that takes a long time. FRANK BORING: Can you describe that, the road and the traveling and all that? CHENG YUAN LEE: The transportation on China mainland we had very little railway transportation. From Hankow to Hengyang I drove by railway. Then from Hengyang to Chunking, we drove by truck and with a lot of equipment, four of us. It took us a month and a half to get to Chunking and I tell you, all the road is muddy road, with rock and it really - you cannot believe how we went through those holes and ditches. Now five of truck that we started from Hengyang and one we lost because the driver did not control the wheel enough, that he just went down the slope and this is the way almost the whole way to Chunking. We lost a lot of transportation and those days we are really poor and really suffer. Many days we just get cup of Mantou - what we call - it's like your bread. You bake them and we steam them. We just get a few Mantou and that's all on the way and we didn't have a single meal of a whole day. That was really tough and hardship and to tell you really truth, when I get to �Chunking, I have lice on me because of no bathing. This is how the Chinese people suffer during World War II - the beginning part. FRANK BORING: Once you got to Chunking, what were your responsibilities and what did you have to do? CHENG YUAN LEE: After I get to Chunking General Chennault was assigned to our cadet school, the flying cadet school in Kunming and as soon as he gets to Kunming he think of us. He says "I have P.Y. Hsu with me now, I must get Henry over." So about one week afterwards, General Cho, our Commanding Chief, told me, he said "Henry, you go to Kunming and Colonel Chennault wants you." So I went to Kunming and I was assigned in a communication truck again. I got a real good decent communication truck. That's the first time I had one - proper communication truck. The rest of time what I had was a station wagon and was all portable equipment. FRANK BORING: At this time, what were your responsibilities, what was the purpose of your being there with Chennault? CHENG YUAN LEE: The Kunming school was training the flying cadets. General Chennault was there as Chief Advisor to train the flying cadets and I'm just part of the training, the communication training. And after I get in Kunming for about less than half year, I get my flying jacket and I went into flying school. That's what he want me. Then I went to States. FRANK BORING: During this period of time there was an attempt by Chennault to train new Chinese pilots to fight against the Japanese. What are your impressions of the effectiveness of this training? Were people graduating? What was your opinion? CHENG YUAN LEE: Before I left Kunming for flying training, or before I went to Kunming, I was in [?] for about 4 months. Then as I mentioned it to you that we had maintained about one squadron of P-36. General Chennault had two squadrons, Chinese flying squadron �there and he was training the P-36 and I went to [?] to help them, the communication training for about 2 months. Then he went to Kunming and soon I went to Kunming. FRANK BORING: While you were at the training period, was that the same time Skip Adair was there? CHENG YUAN LEE: Adair, yes. He was our flying instructor. We went to flying school in Kunming and our primary training was in Yunnanyi, it's about 90 miles west of Kunming and we had five American advisors, we call them. We had about 30 Chinese pilot instructors and also have about five American instructors and Mr. Adair was one of them. Now I have poor memory, I don't quite remember all of them. But Mr. Adair, after I got back from States, I met him again and this is how he give me a picture. We were getting along very good and they been very good to me. FRANK BORING: While you were there was that also the period of time when they had the International Squadron, when they formed the International Squadron? CHENG YUAN LEE: No, the International Squadron they formed just before the AVG, but I already left China and went to United States for flying training. I know, but I never met them. FRANK BORING: While you were there in training, were the Japanese bombing at that time? CHENG YUAN LEE: I can tell you this now. I was in Yunnanyi for nearly half year. I only had about 15 hours of flying - that tells you how bad the Japanese raided us. They just continuously - a whole day often time - we get a tin basin bowl for wash and after we wash we went to the kitchen and we about half full bowl of rice. Then we set off and go to the suburb and we just sit there and watch the raid for a whole day, eating nothing but the rice. Now this is the way it was �during the period of time when I was in the school. Now that time we almost had no air capability to fight the Japanese. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

During that period of time the Japanese sure bomb us very heavily. Often time they continuous bombing for 4 or 5 hours and the people just have to go away for a whole day because nobody knows when the Japanese will come in again. That was my very experience. I was in Chunking City and the air raid sound everybody called Jing bow - so we all went into the dugout, the hole - a big hole inside the mountain and I think in that dugout at least 4 to 5 thousand people were there. To tell you the truth, after the raid is over, which lasts almost about one hour, very few were surviving. I was one of them and I saw with my very own eyes and I had to crawl out of all the dead ones - over the bodies to get out. I was inside. Now lots of people - because when it gets more air they like to stay outside or nearby the dugout - instead of me, I go inside the dugout and the ones who by the entrance almost every one of them were killed. There's no way to running around because the Japanese continuous 4 or 5 hours in Chunking and Chentu. They had destroyed quite a lot of the buildings and city and all over the place. But even the airfield they bomb up. But I can tell you this, within half a day, mostly we work at night - we fill up the holes by dirt and rock and we use stone roller - 2 or 3 hundred people to pull the roller and roll over the dirt and the runway repaired again. The next day our aircraft take off again. That was �something that you should see, otherwise you don't believe it. How many people we use to pull those rollers, the stone rollers. The picture I show you even during the air raid, the Japanese were diving at us, how people were pushing the aircraft out of the parking line in order to save the aircraft and those were the pictures I took during the air raid. This is the hardship - the hard time we went through. FRANK BORING: We know why the AVG was eventually formed, but what we'd like from you is, from a Chinese perspective, you were the Chinese Air Force, you saw what was happening, you saw the bombing, you saw the fact that you couldn't even train that many cadets because it was constantly bombing the airfields and everything else, but if you could explain from your perspective the reasons for the formation of the AVG? CHENG YUAN LEE: General Chennault went to States trying to get aircraft for the Chinese Air Force but I think many times he just comes back with his head down and told us that he bump into wall. Finally, I believe either Dr. Soong or Dr. Kung got help from President Roosevelt's advisor - forgive me, I forgot his name. With his help that they be able to purchase 100 P-40's from the British Air Force. Actually those aircraft were being used by the British and probably the British was going to - send away or some way - but anyway they got the 100 P-40 and those days the Japanese were bomb us so often and continuously, we cannot help the aircraft to build up in any places in China. So this is how it gets into Rangoon with the British help. Then we had first I suppose one of our fighter group, the Third Fighter Group, pilot and mechanics went over there to put the aircraft together and have the Chinese pilots fly into China. Then the same time General Chennault had the AVG came and they went into Rangoon and they took over the aircraft from the Chinese pilots. I believe a lot of the AVG pilots they are from all over the service. Some from Army, some from Navy, some from Marines. (break) �FRANK BORING: We should talk about when you were in the States and letters you were getting from - anything you can recall about that? But at this time also, before he went to form the AVG, Madame Chiang Kaishek was brought in to evaluate the Chinese Air Force and then she eventually recommended with Chennault to form the AVG. Do you anything about that particular? CHENG YUAN LEE: I know about it but I was away in States then and when General Chennault trying to recruit the AVG, later on I learned - lots of them from all the services, Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force many of them they were in service. They request to retire from the service and join General Chennault. FRANK BORING: Let me interrupt you - while you were in the States in training, you said Chennault was writing you letters? Was he talking to you about the frustration of the problems he was having with forming the AVG? What kind of things did he say in his letters? CHENG YUAN LEE: He had mentioned several times to me that… (break) FRANK BORING: Who's he? CHENG YUAN LEE: General Chennault had mentioned several times after he came back from States trying to get aircraft. He get almost resist from all over the place and because he was true friends to President Chiang Kaishek and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, often a lot of American high official misunderstanding by him and this is how he fails almost every time until he actually got the 100 P-40. FRANK BORING: What was Madame Chiang Kai-shek's role at this time? CHENG YUAN LEE: To speak of the Chinese Air Force, at the beginning was formed in Nanking, President Chiang Kai-shek was the Chief of Aeronautical �Affairs Commission. Madame Chiang, she was a Secretary of the Commission and Colonel [?] he was full Colonel and he was Director of the Commission. Then we don't have Air Force headquarters. We call Aeronautical Affairs Commission. FRANK BORING: What was the role of this Commission? CHENG YUAN LEE: Well actually this was a small scale Air Force, that's all, but at the beginning President Chiang Kai-shek and Madame were so concerned about the Air Force and so often they came in and sat down to hold meetings and so forth. And this how General Chennault was selected. I believe it was by either the Madame or Dr. Soong. Then he came over and helped us. He is a true friend of China. Later on, I had the opportunity to be with President Chiang Kai-shek and also become aide to President Chiang Ching Kou and very often I heard from them too that during the time we need the most, he came in and helped us and that's true, that's very true. FRANK BORING: Once the - Madame Chiang Kai-shek as part of the Commission, went around to the various air bases to look at the Chinese Air Force. When did you become aware that they were going to bring in American pilots to join the Chinese Air Force? CHENG YUAN LEE: Before General Chennault came, the Chinese Air Force, we already had a few flying advisors at the flying cadet school and before I was assigned to him, [?] then I know nothing about the Americans until the first day I met Colonel Chennault. Then us five were so close to him, he almost every day told us the progressing and what's the next future plans and so forth. So since then, I know pretty well about General Chennault's activities. FRANK BORING: You heard about and did you have an opinion about the International Squadron that came before AVG? CHENG YUAN LEE: No, I had already gone to States. �FRANK BORING: But do you have an opinion about it - have you heard about it? CHENG YUAN LEE: I heard about it but I was in United States for flying training so I couldn't tell you much about it. FRANK BORING: If you could describe your relationship with Chennault - just in the early days especially. CHENG YUAN LEE: Well not only our two Presidents, President Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo and Madame, Dr. Kung and Dr. Soong so appreciative of Colonel Chennault's help. The whole country I can tell you on the mainland those days, I should say about 1/3 of the people are illiterate. But if you tell him [?] they will tell you: Number One - Ding How. It's true. He treated the Chinese people like his own brothers and sisters and even the cooks, the drivers, were like his own family. Honest and true he is one of our true friends. FRANK BORING: What about your personal relationship with Chennault? CHENG YUAN LEE: Tell you the truth, I know lots about the Colonel's activities, but whatever he wants me to do, I do it for him. Human is human. You may do something, other people don't like it. I may do something, you don't like it. He is too. But whatever he do and he want me to help him, I do it for him because truly I love him from my own heart. He is so true to the Chinese people and this the only thing I could say. FRANK BORING: When you returned from the States in training and Chennault had now returned from the States to form the AVG, when did you then meet up with him again? CHENG YUAN LEE: I returned - I graduated in Thunderbird Air Force Base in United States, Phoenix, Arizona in May 1942. Then I was alone assigned to Army Air Force. Then you don't have an air force. I was assigned to Army Air Force in many different squadrons. In those �days they sent me to a different squadron almost every 2 to 3 months and finally I joined up with the Ferry Command and we flew B-24 from Miami Beach to Africa. Then someone told me that we are going to stay in Africa to fight the Germans and I said to myself, if I have to fight the Germans, I rather go back and fight the Japanese. Because then I already begin the hate to the Japanese, so I request from Africa to go back to Chunking. Then I get to see him and this is first time that the President Chiang Kaishek had me into his home alone, the first time, after I get back from Africa.

CHENG YUAN LEE: He was impressed by a group of high military officers on the mainland just before we fall. FRANK BORING: What I need is your perspective. I see that Chiang Kai-shek had a very big task at this time - we're talking AVG period - we're talking 1941 -42. CHENG YUAN LEE: Japanese what they did on the mainland, especially in Manchuria it raised the patriotism of the people. (break) CHENG YUAN LEE: When President Chiang Kai-shek started from Canton with his military cadets to push northward. At that time he had only two provinces (break) CHENG YUAN LEE: The wrong thing. They could have solved the Chinese by one by one, but what they did they invaded Manchuria, they invaded Shanghai and later on in Chinan. All the activities cost the Chinese people - especially the younger one - at the age that time like me. Give up civilian life and university and join the Air Force because the Japanese made us really furious and hate. Then on China mainland we have many warlords. Each one occupy a province, a �province is like your states. President Chiang Kai-shek at that time he probably could only command two provinces. They started from Canton and push northward. Everything was fine and smooth until he got into Shandong [?], the Japanese trying to stop him and that was the first tragedy that occurred. Instead of the warlords drifting away from the President Chiang Kai-shek, they turned around and told him that we will follow you. Then before the nationalists get into Peking - in those days we called it Peking - the Japanese invade Manchuria and they bombed the Commanding General, (Marshall Chong), they killed him. (Marshall Chong's) eldest son (Marshall Chong) [?], he was a very young, able general. He wasn't in Manchuria. At that time he was on the mainland. When he learned about that he went back to Manchuria. In one night the whole Manchuria had the flag of nationalists - he turn over. Later on he told the people, the Japanese killed his father so he joined President Chiang Kai-shek and when the Japanese invaded Shanghai, the whole country, all the warlords, they said yes, we'll be with you and this is how the Word War II begins. FRANK BORING: What about the Communists? CHENG YUAN LEE: Yeah including the Communists. Then… (break) FRANK BORING: Why don't you talk about the Communists? CHENG YUAN LEE: [?] was a Communist. At that time the Nationalists already had a very long war with the Communists. As a matter of fact, the Communists were driven away from Chiang Shi? province and the so-called 2,000 miles marching towards Yunnan where is now northwest of China and that time the Japanese invaded Shanghai Communist - Mao Tse-tung say yes, we'll join you, President Chiang Kai-shek and this is how the whole country was unified. Actually it was helped by the Japanese. �FRANK BORING: You had mentioned earlier about the Doolittle raid. Can you tell us anything about that? CHENG YUAN LEE: General Doolittle had an aircraft - I forgot the name - the B-25 took off from the carrier and raided in Japan and too bad that the weather turned out bad. Then General Chennault told me - because at that time I was in [?] to set up a radio homer station. Then General Chennault told me, he said "Henry, a very important mission - get your radio station on and for sure that it works." So I had the radio station on almost 12 hours and the B-25 follow our homer so quite a few of them laying there on the beach of the China coast. I'm sorry they lost quite a few, but the ones that landed on China beach was following my homer. FRANK BORING: You had mentioned also in another conversation about how pilots that got shot down over enemy territory would be rescued by villagers and you had a couple of humorous stories about that. CHENG YUAN LEE: Many stories could tell you how the Chinese people loved the American pilots. During then many American pilots were shot down in Japanese occupied territory. Many of them parachuted and they landed. The native people, the local people would do every possible way to help them to get out of occupied territory. For instance, one case, a pilot was shot down and the village people got him into the village. They know soon the Japanese would come in to search for the pilot and if ever they found the pilot, not only they gonna kill the pilot, but they gonna kill the whole family or even wipe out the whole village. So the village people, they get together and those days us Chinese people use wood and hay for cooking and heating, so every family has a little house to store the dry wood and that time the farmers they get a brilliant idea. They got pilot into the wood house, have him lay on the ground and sleep on the ground and they piled the wood all around him so the Japanese comes in, they don't find anything. They never even dreamed that under the wood was a pilot. Daytime he sleeps under the wood, at night time they let him come out and stretch his legs. Now another �case, the Chinese people's wedding, they're old fashioned. They would send the bride from one village to other village by sedan chair. A few of you perhaps have seen the sedan chair - it's all covered by - a chair covered by beautiful embroidery things - but however, in the line of the wedding, usually they have a monk, a parson, to make pray for good luck and so forth, so in the line in the front usually maybe a few monk, or as many as 10 or 20. Well it is true the Chinese people are so smart they made a pilot - a bailed out pilot into a monk. They shave all his hair and they rub dirt on his face so he look like more close to Chinese people and they put a monk robe on him and he join the crowd and become one of the monk and then walk through to the - we called - the neutralized zone and the people would turn him over to the guerilla and the guerilla would take him back to the rear where he based. Now often, like that, not only one. Your four star general, General (Dess [?]), he came over to Taiwan to visit us and he met his old friend and magistrate of our city that helped him and they two become real good friends. Many, many, stories like this, you should hear from them. FRANK BORING: Could you tell us any stories that you thought of whether they were humorous stories or touching stories about Chennault? What were some of your personal recollections of Chennault? Not ones that you think are embarrassing, but often people have said to me, including my father who knew Chennault of course in CAT days, that you never could say no to the old man. If he requested something you had to do it. CHENG YUAN LEE: Let me tell you this now. Both President Chiang Kai-shek and President Chiang Ching-kuo for 100% I should say they are Dictators. No one could say no. No one could even hesitate of what he said. General Chennault was so close to them and worked with them for so long, to my own opinion honest and true. At the beginning when he came, he was more American. About 2 or 3 years later he is more like the President. When he tell you to do this, you do it. For a Chinese - because a lot of us are illiterate and �if he don't have the authority or the power, lot of time you find the people would do any different crazy things and this is how the authority is more power than anything else. Now a lot of you people being Democrat, you don't understand. And this is one of the reasons General Stillwell didn't like President Chiang Kai-shek, they like enemy. FRANK BORING: Do you mind talking about General Stillwell and Chennault and Chiang Kai-shek? CHENG YUAN LEE: Well I prefer not. Later on General Chennault involved in that [?]. FRANK BORING: In your opinion, coming from your heart, in terms of Chinese history, in terms of your own personal life, what do you think the significance of the AVG? CHENG YUAN LEE: Those days the Chinese people really suffered from the war. Especially from the Japanese air attacks. For almost about a whole year the CAF just cannot put up any resistance and the people's morale was deteriorating and then General Chennault formed the AVG and then came the victory. The people saw with their own eyes the Japanese aircraft was shot down. I can tell you this, during those days, the Chinese people were so excited, so happy, they almost do every crazy thing to celebrate when they saw a Japanese aircraft shot down. So in turn, when they see an American wears a leather jacket with two flags in the back and so they don't know who is American and who is a what - but as soon as they saw the jacket, they put up their thumb, Ting How - that's the only thing they could express. And I tell you this is true from the bottom of their hearts. Now this, the activity of the AVG not only bring up or boost the morale of the people, but they too boost the morale of all the troops. Now when the Chinese troops in the front, when they saw the Shark Fin, in those days the Chinese people call "The Tiger" because very few Chinese people have ever seen a shark before, so when they saw the shark's teeth, they say "here is a tiger" and this is how the AVG was so respected and so loved by �the Chinese people. They have truly boosted the morale of the whole nation and this is how I respect all of them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CHENG YUAN LEE: Tell you the truth in the early part of the war I was young. I joined the Air Force at 17 years old and I know very little. Also I had already went into university, but I know very little. General Chennault I should say is the first one that actually got me into the knowledge of air power. For the first about 2 or 3 months, he wanted to get acquainted with the Chinese Air Force facilities and airfields and so forth. He would choose one of us five to go out to visit the various places with him. Most of the time Colonel Shu, he went with him because he was interpreter, but sometimes General Chennault wanted to fly. Then the Chinese Air Force we don't have multi-seat aircraft. The biggest aircraft we had was a Douglas two seats bi-plane, open cockpit. So he had to get me because I'm a radio operator also. He sits in the front flying, I'm in the back because I had to send the message back and that's how he choose me. Then he told me, he said "Henry, when I take off, when I give you the signal, you'll be flying straight and level." He got me interested in flying, although I wanted to be a pilot, but I never knew anything about flying before. Then it convinced him that I could be a pilot because I kept it straight and level good. Often �time he landed and he said "Henry, good boy." He is the one that actually educated me many things, not only the air force, in many things and this is the reason why I respect him so much. For a while I almost think that he is my father. He taught me many things and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be a pilot. FRANK BORING: Looking back at that period of time now as a man who has accomplished many things in his life, that period of time when you were very young, 17 years old, 18 years old, what do you think of those times now? CHENG YUAN LEE: Later on because I had the opportunity of knowing a lot of high people, I even get close to President Chiang Kai-shek and be an Aide to President Chiang Ching Kou. I should say compares nowadays, those days I was a baby, I should say. I don't know anything, but now I know. And also I've been - I get myself in trouble often time. Not because of my mistakes, because of politics. Now United States has helped China a great deal, but a lot of things you people just don't know of the Chinese people. For instance, the Chinese people, during then I should say, half of the people are not well educated and many of them don't even know how to read and write. Their mind is simple. Their feeling is always straight. Although they started thinking but those thoughts would only go straight. China does need a man like a President Chiang Kai-shek. He is a man to tell the person "now, you do this, nothing else, but do this." Why? Because such a low educated people, if you don't put your thumbs on him, he go wild. He don't know even himself what he's gonna do. So a lot of Americans think that the President is a Dictator. He is treating the people not with a kind heart. No, it's not. He is very kind to the people, but when he want the people to do this, you do it, you finish it, you do as I told you. Because that's the only way to get a lot of the people to complete a thing. The Americans don't understand. The Americans, like when you are in your country, if someone comes to you like this, you'd get furious. You say what is a human right? But when you treat people like the early days on the mainland, the �farmers. What can you do? You do the work for him, do the work with him or you tell the person, you say "Now one, you do this, two you do that, and three, you do this." or you get nothing. FRANK BORING: Why do you think Chennault, an American, was so effective working with the Chinese people? CHENG YUAN LEE: Now, he came to China. Colonel Chennault he came to China. At the beginning, he don't understand also. Often time he talk to Colonel Hsu and I and the other three. He said "Why, the people like that?" We explain to him, we said don't misunderstand. He is not offend you. We explain to him the education, the background, the customs and the way we do things. Honest and true finds us like - an example, when I tell you, you're across the street, when I tell you to come I want to talk to you. I use my hand and do like this. Now when you want me to go across the street, you do your hands like this. Now only by hand gesture, two move are different to the Chinese. If you do to the Chinese, do like this. That means you look down at them. He is offended, he don't think you are a friend. We do like this to you, you don't feel kind of good. Often time you see people like this. Now we brought up a different custom, a different way for 1000 years. We just don't understand each other. Now this is the reason we explained to Colonel Chennault. He learned. Not only he learned, he asked questions. He asked a lot of questions, soon he become one of us. When the President told him something, he don't feel offended. He is happy to do that because he knows the President wasn't a Dictator. But to your people, many, many of your people, even with the President for quite a while, still think that he is different. So understand, to me, after I been with Americans for so long and I been traveling in 27 countries, understand is the first thing you learn. And it's a very hard problem. Don't think that that I understand what you say, that's nothing. You must understand like what I mentioned it, the background, the customs and the way we doing things, then you really understand. Don't try to say "Oh I understand what you said" that's nothing. General Chennault understood us and this is the �reason why he became so friendly to us and why the Chinese people love him. (break) CHENG YUAN LEE: Like another custom in India. If you go along a road - I saw many G.I.'s in India. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I can say that is hard to tell. There[?] was a large delegation composed of men of all parties, “merchants” who went down on Monday to intercede for Mr. Corkraw, Mr. Magnum and myself went down in the 4:15 A.M. train, and made all the arrangements, and met the delegation at the Depot at 10 o’ck. We then went to Hon Montgomery Blair’s office, and had quite a satisfactory interview with him. We then called out Mr. Chare[?], but did not see him, The chairman of the delegation Mr. Geo. Rodgers, a man of great influence in the City, spoke to Mr. Lincoln and the resolutions as were adopted by the meeting were read by Mr. Redgrave, also a merchant and an influential man, the resolutions were very good, they were not very long but to the point and very impressive[?], I was somewhat astonished to see such an earnest desire on the part of those who differed so widely in politics, to have Mr. C the collector, He is endorsed by merchants who do business, Through the Custom House to the amount of five millions of dollars a year, Mr. Lincoln said in reply to the Chairman, that he received several communications and delegations from Balto. [Baltimore], but none such as were present. He said it was the most formal and imposing of any he had received, they all returned home highly gratified, and from the interview he had from Mr. Blair I have not doubt that Mr. C �will get the Hall, I came home with the Delegation in the evening. I saw a good many old Republicans and they say the Republicans will be taken care of in Maryland. Mr. Jarrett has given me a letter, stating my character & qualifications, &c., it is one of the most strong and impressive letters I have seen for a long time. [?] Jarrett, had a talk with me today in regard to this matter, without any solicitation on my part, He said that anything he could do for me, he would at any time do so, and if I should fail in getting the place I want, I should always have a situation with him. He said he would be sorry to part with me, but at the same time, if I could make so much more by going, for me to do so (If I fail I still hold my preset place in his store) I thanked him kindly for the interest he felt in my behalf, and should I fail in the situation I want I know he will give me more than he now does, yet I may be thankful that I am getting what I do these hard times. I still recmmend[?] Mr. C. of your application, also Hon. Blair and he tells me to wait until the proper time and he will act in time. I have no fear that you will come in for something, & I do not like to humble him on the office question, because I do not know when he will get it, but when he does I will let him hear from me in good earnest, I saw him today and he is in high spirits. He says that he has no doubt but what he will get the appointment, yet it remains to be seen. �He asked me yesterday if I knew Mr. Isaac Twinning[?] of Hartford, I told him that I did not know much of him, I knew there was such a man in Hartford. He said he Mr. Twinning[?] had called on him for an Inspectorship, I told him I did not know anything about his [?], qualifications, but did not think him suitable for a position of that kind. He said he felt like givin him some advice, but not knowing him he did not, He has no good feelings for [?] I think the appointments will be made in a few days, and you will hear from me on Saturday in if nothing happens, My wife is not very well, all the rest folks are Hoping this may find you well I remain yours, E.G.
