In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued.

(00:05) Served in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant (00:07) Phillip grew up in Lansing, Michigan. (00:30) He ran track and managed the football team in high school. (00:55) Phillip enlisted in the Army in March of 1963. Because he struggled in college, Philip figured he would be drafted. So instead, he decided to enlist and get the branch of service he desired. (1:02) Phillip chose the Army due to the opportunities it had offered at the time. (1:27) Training (1:43) • • • He attended basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Phillip was in the wrong unit (an airborne unit) this mean he was undergoing much more difficult physical training. (1:45) Philip was placed in a radio school in Fort Monmouth New Jersey. (2:11) He was taught to be a radio receiver repair man. (2:25) Service in Vietnam (2:54) • • • • • • • • • • The first year he served in country (approx 1964-1965) he was living in Saigon and worked in a unit that was stationed in a small village outside of Saigon. (2:55) Once he arrived in Vietnam he was assigned to be a systems controller. (3:32) During his first year of service, Phillip was in a rear unit and saw very little “action.” He did, however, return for a second tour of duty and this time was placed more towards the front in a town called Le Trang. Here he carried out the same radio jobs. (4:28) When living in Saigon, Phillip took a bus ten miles to get to his work station. It was not uncommon for this bus to be shot at or have grenades lobbed through its windows. (5:02) Phillips second tour (aprox. 1965-1966) consisted of being flown via helicopter to different locations where radios needed to be fixed. (5:44) His service did affect him; however he does not believe he had PTSD. (6:20) Phillip did manage to make close friends during his military service; he has since lost contact with them. (6:31) To communicate with home, Phillip relied primarily upon letters. (7:14) During his first service of duty, the men were allowed to go out into town more often. There were bowling allies, restaurants, bars, and other amenities that the men could use. Phillip liked to go to the things that the military offered of established because they were most often the safest. (8:00) From Phillip's hotel in Saigon, he could see fire fights in the jungle 20 miles away. (9:30) End of Service (9:40) �• • • Phillip was not in country when the war ended. He was glad that he himself was not in Vietnam. He thinks that the country's actions were not very effective or wise. (9:57) He was flown to California to be processed and discharged. (10:34) When Philip was discharged he had to walk out of the military base to catch a bus to go to the airport. In order to do so he was required to walk past protesters. (11:00) Thoughts on Service (11:30) • • • He thinks that the Army is much better prepared and has had great increases in the amount of technology and effective strategies. (11:45) The equipment that Phillip worked on was very unreliable and somewhat impractical. (13:19) It was a very interesting experience for Phillip, but he would not like his son or his grandson to experience it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The transcript is a translation into English. Not all interview questions may be audible. INTERVIEWER: Before AVG, before Chen a De came, what's your background? What's your position in China Air Force? Where did you get your training? Where did you go to school? Like these stuff. TIGER WANG: I learned things about the air force in Canton. This is all right. I learned things about the air force in Canton. INTERVIEWER: O.K. Let's begin. This is the first question. The first question is "What's your background? Where did you get your training? Where did you go to school?" TIGER WANG: This is something about aviation. We only talk about things in aviation. INTERVIEWER: Right, Where did you get your training in aviation? TIGER WANG: Where did I get my training? That, of course, I have been trained in Soviet Union. I may say that the beginning class was in China. We, in Canton, when we were in Canton City, the consultants were Germans. There were Germany consultants. At that time, I was in Canton Aviation School. The Canton Aviation School was established by Dr. Sun Yat Sen himself. In China, there were two most important leader for the development of China Air Force. I can say without any hold back that, without these two leaders I don't know. I am afraid that there won't be China Air Force. The first one was our Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the second one was the late president Chiang Kai-Shek. Right after the success of Chinese revolution, he established the Wang Pu Military School in Canton. The Wang Pu School..., I was a Wang Pu first-class student. I was only 18 years old when I went to Wang Pu for the entrance test. Wang Pu School was established by Dr. Sun Yat Sen and the late president Mr. Chiang. I may say that the establishment of our Wang -Pu School was very important for the success of Chinese Revolution, we were in a very important position. Then, who established the Wang Pu School? It was Dr. Sun Yat Sen. Who 1 �was the principal? It was the late president Mr. Chiang. It was them. Not long after we graduated from the Wang Pu School, Dr. Sun and the late president Mr. Chiang established another school again. They thought that it would be if we battled only by the Army in the future. Air Force would become very important for the future wars. So, not because we as students want to praise our own teachers, the development of the military forces were done by Dr. Sun and the late President. After graduating, they want us Wang Pu student went to learn how to fly A plan immediately. At that time, the first class of Canton Aviation School had only 10 students, Dr. Sun said that Aviation School's students have to be in the Air Force. Then, who was the one that took responsibility for this school at that time? It was the late President. However, we established the Aviation School. There were only several old planes when we got the school. Very few instructors were Chinese; at that time, all the Chinese instructors learned how to fly in foreign countries. So Dr. Sun invited Germans; he let Germans run this school. There were three Germans then: one was the principal named Yang-Er-Ti?, a German. All these people had taken part in World War I. Flying instructor was Fong?, Gram,? a German, who also participated the World War I himself. At that time, we cannot called it "the Air Force" because there were only a few planes. The other was a mechanic named Ligers? All these were German names, right? All of them were Germans. So, it was German that help in establishing the Canton Aviation School, the principal was a German, the flying instructor was a German, the mechanic was also a German. There were only 10 students in the first class of the Aviation School, only ten. Dr. Sun encouraged us that students from Wang Pu School will be the first priority for this school. So that, we, as students in Wang Pu School. So the first class students of the Aviation School were all came from Wang Pu School except two Koreans. I thought that it will be interesting to have Koreans here. Why there were Koreans in a Chinese aviation school? Because at that time, Korea was occupied by Japanese. Japanese occupied Korea so that Korean's cannot have their own aviation schools. Not only this, they were not allowed to own airplanes. Because Korea was occupied by Japanese, the Japanese would not allow Korean to learn things about air force, they would not agree to do it. So, in the students of the first class of the aviation school, Dr. Sun accepted two Korean. We can tell from these places that he was really a great person. Dr. Sun not only started Chinese Revolution, Wasn't Korea a colony then? He treated other people just like he treated his own people. So, when established the aviation school, there were ten students in total. Dr. Sun have us Chinese sent eight students and kept two positions for Korean's. We should tell the world how great a person Dr. Sun was. So the 2 �Chinese aviation school as well as military school were both set up by Dr. Sun while the late President Mr. Chiang were in charge. The aviation school was established by Dr. Sun and the principal was Mr. Chiang. We can say that the Chinese Revolution. How China can take the responsibility for revolution, one was because Dr. Sun Yat-sun, the other was the late President Chiang Kai-Shek. Without these two leaders, we dare not say what would be the result of the restore of China's power and glory. Why I want to talk about all these events? For Chinese Revolution, no matter it was for military, air force, navy, especially for air force, all were established by these two leaders. I believe that there won't be any other country in the world has the same thing regarding these events. So, if without these two leaders, we cannot make sure that whether the Chinese Revolution will be succeeded. I dare not say and cannot say Whether or not we can keep the Republic of China in Today's status. So, when we talk about the events about China's military, no matter it's army, especially air force, navy, all were created by Dr. Sun and run by the late President Mr. Chiang. He, the late President Mr. Chiang completed the order of Dr. Sun, so that there are Chinese Army, especially Air Force, and Navy today. Without these two leaders, I dare not say that the Chinese military forces will in the same status as today. So, when talk about big events of China, especially the armed forces that restore the nation's power and glory, we can say it was Dr. Sun that created them all, and the one who completed his order and great ambitions was the late President. Therefore, they were not only leaders for revolution, the were leaders for the country. When we mention, when we discuss in today, no matter what kind of military forces, we must understand that the it were Dr. Sun and the late President who first created, promoted, and got it done. I believe I hope that not only Chinese that must understand, those countries that were either treated us friendly or unfriendly will all understand. INTERVIEWER: In 1937, when Japanese invaded China, what's the situation of the Air Force? What's the situation of Chinese Air Force? Was there an air force or not? TIGER WANG: Have a little bit. Are you talking about the Chinese Defensive War? INTERVIEWER: (Man) Yes. Chinese Defensive War in 1937. TIGER WANG: The development of Chinese Air Force was somewhat late, but the procedure of our development was not fall behind. We Chinese Air Force. Not because I was an official in the Air Force to say good words about it, the Chinese Air Force, after establishing, never fall 3 �behind. Of course it was pretty difficult to establish the Chinese Air Force. First of all, we need aviation industry, which we did not have at that time. Second, we need aviators. There were not so many of them at that moment, either. It was not that simple to develop the air force or aviation. One must be very good in industry, have lots of talented people in aviation, it never been easy. So, it was very tough for Chinese Air Force on the road to develop, to restore; it was very tough. But, what the Air Force learned were not fall behind. I did not mean that we take our very limited amount of plans to compare with the United States, with Germany in the very beginning. We just cannot do this. Why I said that we were not fall behind was according to the leaders, the people in the Air Force, and the training procedures, namely, the procedure to train the aviator. We may say that in these events, we were not only not fall behind, we were much better than that. Although we cannot compare our planes with those highly developed countries, that demands a good aviation industry. Our aviation industrial techniques was not so good, this required both money and men of ability, especially talents as leaders. I may say that it was Dr. Sun Yat Sen that created the Air Force, later, the late President Mr. Chiang developed, promoted, and established the Air Force. Today's Air Force was established by Mr. Chiang himself, this should be aware by everybody. It was, of course, not that easy when we try to develop, to build up. We did not have even basic aviation industry, in addition, we cannot train our own aviators by ourselves when we first started to develop. Most of our experienced people got their training in other countries, in Great British, in Germany, and in French. As long as we want to develop something, especially something important, we Chinese have to learn it from others. Particularly from the U.S. Air Force, I dare to say, in the development of Chinese Air Force, the U.S. Air Force were the most helpful. My student said, his instructor in the Air Force was also an American, and the American consultant helped him to become an aviator. Therefore, Chinese Air Force was assisted by American in every aspect, like people, equipment, etc. I can say that without a friend like America, the Chinese Air Force cannot develop so fast like we do today. INTERVIEWER: When the Defensive War began, I mean, when the Defensive War began in 1937, how was the Chinese Air Force's ability in fighting? How many planes did we have? How many aviators? What's the battle capability? TIGER WANG: I can say, I can say strictly, and I think that my students will agree with me that we got lots of help from other countries in developing Chinese Air Force. Without the help from all these friendly 4 �countries in giving us training, etc., it would not be so fast in our development. I can say, we did not fall behind as we started to develop. In the skill part, we did not fall behind in the skill. It was truth that we cannot compare with those countries like America, Germany in the instruments and equipment, but, in the usage of these equipment, in how to learn those abilities that related to the air force, we Chinese, I dare to say, were not fall behind. When talk about the planes, the equipment, we were far behind those developed countries. Our planes, our Air Force had a very important relationship with the U.S. I can say, we Chinese Air Force, if without American people, equipment, and other things that related to the air force to help us, I am afraid that our development., It would not be that smooth on the road of development. So, the America to us, the relationship between our Air Force and the U.S. Air Force were very close. I can say that without the help form America in air force, we will encounter many difficulties when try to develop. INTERVIEWER: This is very important. But what we want to know now is, when General Chen a De came to China.... INTERVIEWER: (Man) You have to give this question to General Wang first, because General Wang… INTERVIEWER: Today we are going to ask some personal questions, for example, you and General Chen a De, what your opinion about Chen a De, these questions, all right? What is your suggestion? This will be better. INTERVIEWER: When did you…O.K. TIGER WANG: Go ahead, go ahead. INTERVIEWER: Under what situation did you first meet General Chen a De? TIGER WANG: Me? INTERVIEWER: Unhn, when you met General Chen a De for the first time. TIGER WANG: Chen a De came here as an advisor in the beginning. INTERVIEWER: (Man) Yes. He was an advisor. How about you and Choid?? Before Chen a De, it was Choid?, how was you and Choid?....When did you first see him? Under what situation did you see him? 5 �TIGER WANG: I may say that the development of the Chinese Air Force would be affected tremendously without the help provided by Americans. At first, the aviation school, a base for the Air Force to develop aviators, was in Hangchow. This aviation school in Hangchow..... In the beginning, when we start the Hangchow aviation school, the late President Mr. Chiang had invited Americans to be advisors. There was a General Advisor from U.S. Air Force named Choid?, we translated as Chou Wei-teh?. Choid?, Chou, Wei-teh came with a group of people that mostly selected from U.S. armed forces. Later on, Choid? left and Roland? took over his job. When we established the aviation school in Hangchow, Roland? and the American advisors helped a great deal in providing people, equipment, how to develop, how to teach, how to teach how to fly, and how to teach mechanics. At that time, the Hangchow aviation school was the most important base for the development of the Air Force. In this base, just as we started, just began the semester, the American advisers came. So the American advisors had a very deep relationship with the development of the Chinese Air Force. INTERVIEWER: When did they allocate General Chen a De to China? Why him? TIGER WANG: Just as I said in the beginning, the highest organization was the Aviation Agency which was the highest office in charge of the development of the Air force. The late President Mr. Chiang, in order to gather talents for the Air Force, expanded it into the Aviation Committee. The Aviation Committee became the most important organization for the development of the Air Force. So, when talk about the development of the Chinese Air Force, we had encountered many obstacles, but, under the leadership of the late President, we overcame all of them one after another. INTERVIEWER: What's the condition for Chen a De to come to China? TIGER WANG: You listen to me. In the beginning, among our advisors, we invited advisors as soon as the school was established, Choid? was in a higher class; he was the head of the advisors. In the aviation school, the advisor that concerned about the flying instruction was Roland. There were several advisors, all had took part in the World War, under Roland's commands. So, right after establishing of the aviation school, we got some American advisers immediately. At that time, before this, the late President sent me to the Soviet Union to learn flying, to learn the air force stuff. When I came back, the aviation school was just about to begin, so I..., Mr. Chiang want me to serve as instructor for flying. That was when I just returned from Soviet Union after stay there for seven years. I went to the aviation school right after coming back, and the school 6 �was just about to start. There was an Aviation Committee and Choid? was the advisor for that Committee. Roland? was the advisor for the aviation school. At that moment, Roland? and those American instructors, and those advisors in the development of our Air Force, Choid? and Roland? contributed very much to us. INTERVIEWER: Then Chen a De...... O.K. We may stop, O.K. INTERVIEWER: (Man) When Chen a De. INTERVIEWER: I mean when. TIGER WANG: At first, people that related to the development of our Air Force, the first one in aviation, we cannot called it "Air Force" then, was the aviation advisor Choid? The one actually contributed to flying was Roland?. INTERVIEWER: Then, when did Chen a De come? TIGER WANG: You listen to me. After Roland?, when Roland? left. (Can we stop for a minute? There is a airplane flying.) All the advisors came from America, so we only talk about American advisors here. As I told you, our Air Force once try to get Italian aviation advisors, air force advisors. Later, there were Russians. But, ever since the beginning of our Air Force, there were American advisors helping us. And, about.... INTERVIEWER: TIGER WANG: When did Chen a De come? You listen to me. When he came first, Chen a De had lived in Hangchow, also in Hangchow where we had a unit, the aviation school. But, Chen a De did not stay in Hangchow for long before we start to fight with Japanese. I can say that Japanese was very concerned with the development of the Chinese Air Force. Japanese, when the Double-seven Defensive War began, it was Japanese. At that time, in the urban areas, not only urban areas, we Chinese people were discussing about one thing said that Japanese concerned with the rapidly developing of Chinese Air Force very much, they concerned it very much. So, for Japanese, some people said that the Defensive War broken out was because Japanese would not wait until our Air Force reached certain achievement. This was not spread by the Air Force people, it was discussed by general publics. They said, if the Air Force did not develop so quickly, Japanese may not started the war at that time. About this, I.... We cannot say whether it was true or not, but some people thought so. 7 �INTERVIEWER: When did the Voluntary Group first come to China? TIGER WANG: That was after Chen a De. You listen to me. When Roland? left, we invited another advisor that was Choid?. No, not Choid?, that was Chen a De. Chen a De did not come here very long before the beginning of the Defensive War. The Air Force School moved to Chengtu? first, and later to Kunming. Chen a De was always with us along the road to Kunming, he was always with us. It was Chen a De from then on. Our aviation school once moved to Chengtu?, then to many difference places in Kunming. The Air Force also moved from Chengtu? to Kunming, then the school reopened. INTERVIEWER: The Voluntary Group first came to..... TIGER WANG: There was no Voluntary Group at that time. INTERVIEWER: Then, what was the condition when the AVG first came to Mainland China? We are talking about the arrival of the Voluntary Group, AVG. TIGER WANG: When the AVG came, I tell you, AVG was established in Kunming. We were in the Defensive War at that time, and all the bases have been moved to Kunming, and the Air Force Academy was moved to Kunming also. The Air Force Academy had a very close relationship with the Defensive War. When we moved to Kunming, Chen a De was the General Advisor already. I was once the Dean of Education of Air Force Academy which actually was the President of the Academy. Then who was the president of the Air Force Academy? It was the late President Mr. Chiang. INTERVIEWER: When the AVG Came..... TIGER WANG: You just slow down... What did you say? Chen a De with several other advisors stay at the Academy first, and he and me...... I was in the Academy also then. He was a general advisor to our flying instructors. There were three or four people under him, all moved with the school. I was in charge of the school when in Kunming, so I have a very close relationship with Chen a De, we have been through hard times together, we are real friends. When he was in Kunming, there were no very many flying advisors, only several other people. but when we moved to Kunming, we began to train our people there, and Chen a De was always the General Advisor for the Air Force Academy. We were in the Defensive War then. Americans did not involved when we began the defensive War, you know that, right? After moving to Kunming, Chen a De was 8 �always the general advisor for the aviation school, Besides, there were several other advisors. At that time, as I told my American friends, the Americans did not involved into the war yet. They did not eager to fight for.... at that moment. But at that time, even American friends knew, what's they knew? they knew that the war between Japan and China will get America involve inside in the future. INTERVIEWER: Then, when did the AVG..... TIGER WANG: You listen to me. The U.S. will certainly get involved. In our government, to tell the truth, we understand this also. I told them quite often, said that Americans, in the future, when our American friends were threatened by Japanese, they will, and must come to us for cooperation in military. We had this idea at that time. But our American friends, those Americans, they, too, understood this only they cannot admitted. They cannot say that someday we will join together to fight Japanese, because their government did not declare war yet. That's why when the U.S. government decided to take part at our Defensive War to fight against Japanese, Chen a De was appointed by his government right away to take charge of the battle. He became not only a general advisor for training of aviators, but also a general advisor for the Air Force. In this history, American's advisory group was established step by step. When in Kunming, right after the U.S. government decided to participate the war, Chen a De began to set up the American aviation team when he still serve as the general advisor for the Air Force. At first, it was a voluntary group, It was voluntary. At that time, even Americans knew that Japan will fight with America someday. So, when in Kunming, Chen a De was a general advisor first, when the war began, the U.S. government immediately appointed him to be in charge of the battle. At that time, due to his government's strategy, he still cannot take part in the war. So, the relationship between countries must be built step by step. We and the U.S. Air Force had a very good relationship even before the Defensive War. Chen a De was a very important people in establishing this relationship. He knew that someday Americans must fight against Japanese, so, when he was still a general advisor for flying training, he never spoke in public anything about the battle, he said it was not my duty, in fact, we had discussed secretly. This is a joke that we discussed secretly, but he did provide with the Air Force many things that related to... not only..., he just did not participate in the war directly. When America involved into the war, he immediately..... In fact, he was well prepared already. 9 �INTERVIEWER: But the AVG was established before the U.S. got involved into the war directly. TIGER WANG: What? INTERVIEWER: The AVG was established before the U.S. got involved into the war directly. TIGER WANG: Yes. It was before e. the AVG was established in Kunming by Chen a De, and then also directed by him. INTERVIEWER: How is he? The procedure, What's the procedure for the establishment of the AVG? TIGER WANG: The AVG was established step by step. At first, there were several instructors in his team, if he participate.... It was not established very rapidly in Kunming. Before the establishment of the AVG, Chen a De was already in Kunming. He was always in Kunming at that time to be with the school. knew that the U.S. government.., at that time, Japanese was in Hanoi, Vietnam, they had invaded Vietnam already. American participated in the war after Japanese invaded Vietnam. Then, for those Americans like Chen a De, the U.S. government gave him a title immediately which stated that he was located in China to represent the Air Force and then established a voluntary group. It was only a voluntary group instead publicly announced that this was the the U.S. Air Force. After establishing the AVG, they set up another unit, a battle unit, what's the name of it? It seemed that Chen a De had a very long title, so he make fun of it himself, he told me, he said: Tiger, look at my title, I got a very long title for my position. What was the title? It was the General Advisor of the Air Force of Republic of China, Chen a De with American Air Force in China..... (Man: China Air Task Force). American Voluntary Group's, he was not the commander at that time, it was a squadron commander. Later, this title was changed. The U.S. government want the air force to set up a formal American organization in China (Man: China Air Task Force). Ya, Ya, it was China Air Task Force. INTERVIEWER: The conditions in Kunming when the AVG established. TIGER WANG: In Kunming, before it establishment, the American understood that Japanese will enlarge the war for sure. So, General Chen a De understood that the U.S. Air Force will come to China once it became necessary. Before the U.S. government declared anything about what the air force is going to do, he will not say anything. But, when we talked, we discussed this situation very often. So, 10 �when in Kunming, Chen a De was only a general advisor for my school, but he knew that once the American government decide to involve into this war, his job will be changed right away. So, he has prepared in advance at that time, but we can only say so in private occasion. He cannot say that we are going to do so and so in the future, he never did. Americans never release military secret unintentionally. Therefore, I knew it clearly that, when served as the general advisor, before the establishment of the AVG, he had prepared for the day that they will take part in the war. So, when the U.S. government announced that there will be an American voluntary group in China, he got it ready immediately. At first, when the AVG was in Kunming, there were only a few flying instructors which was not enough. Later, his followers came to China very quickly and the AVG was established gradually. First, the unit was called a team, not a group. So, it was the American Voluntary Team first, some America..., I thought that the U.S. government must have a completed plan. If Japan joined..., if they joined the war against Japan, Chen a De will in charge of the Air Force in conjunction with the Chinese Air Force. So, when the AVG was established, their people have came to China already. I knew it, who said it was a voluntary group? The U.S. Air Force officers pretended that they were volunteers; in fact, they represented the American's..... But we 'd better not to say this although, in fact, it was just like this. Part of them, I can make sure that part of them were volunteers, but those who really take part in the battle, were prepared by Americans in advance. It must be well-prepared before. So Chen a De ..... At first, this group was a temporary unit instead of a permanent one. I think this was all for an excuse. Therefore, it was Chen a De that in charge of the U.S. Air Force when they began to fight in China, that was why Chen a De was so familiar with them. INTERVIEWER: Ambassador Wang, when the AVG was established, what was your rank in the Armed forces? TIGER WANG: I was the Assistant Commandant (Executive Officer) for the Chinese Air Force Academy, which was, because the President was the late President Mr. Chiang, so we were called Assistant Commandant, in fact, it was the President. At that time, I have set up the Fifth Area Air Force..., Chinese Air Force Fifth Area General Headquarter. The Chinese Air Force set up the fifth area headquarter, I invited Chen a De to plan for the headquarter in battling and also in organizing, etc. So, before the establishment of the AVG, it was me that..... Because the Fifth Headquarter was to direct the battle for Chinese Air Force, Chen a De understood that if he take the responsibilities to organize the troop in the future, 11 �namely, the AVG, because the Americans did not declare the war against Japan yet, they cannot say they were in the war. But, Americans had prepared very early and we cannot cover this fact, even Japanese knew this themselves. INTERVIEWER: After the establishment of he AVG, began....... with the Chinese..... TIGER WANG: No, no, I will tell you. TIGER WANG: No, no, let me tell you. What's the situation when the AVG was established? When Americans decided to involve into the war, there was a temporary in its title: it was a temporary air force voluntary group. Not only Americans but also Chinese that voluntarily came to join this group. There were Chinese in this group. Of course, there were no Chinese that served as pilot in the group, but there were many Chinese served for positions like mechanics and others. So, when the AVG was established, all the aviators were came from America. INTERVIEWER: How many? TIGER WANG: I don't remember how many. It was a voluntary group, and was established step by step. I can say that most of the ground staff were allocated by me and were Chinese. INTERVIEWER: How was the relationship between Chinese and American in the AVG? TIGER WANG: Very good. Not Bad. INTERVIEWER: Please repeat by question. I mean you have to say in the AVG, Chinese and Americans... TIGER WANG: We can say that the AVG..... I was there when they started it in Kunming. I and General Chen a De. He was my general advisor, general advisor for flying. Because he was in this position, so he invited my to be his, it cannot be called an advisor, he just asked me to help him. He he was in my school, I was the general advisor; when he organized the AVG, he invited me to join his temporary group, too. In fact, for that temporary group, he invited me to help him. So we had a very good relationship in from the beginning of the temporary group in personnel and many other fields. We cooperated well. When in Kunming, the temporary group was just established, I may say that all the ground staff were allocated by me. All the ground staff were allocated by me. All the aviators 12 �were Americans, but the ground staff, like mechanics and others were sent to them from me. INTERVIEWER: How was the relationship between the aviators and ground staff in… TIGER WANG: There was no problem at all. We got a very good relationship. We Chinese performed very well when cooperated with Americans in the air force. When Chen a De's temporary group first established, if there were no Chinese, we would not have ground staff. Most of them were Chinese. INTERVIEWER: Ambassador Wang, do you remember the Burma Road? The Burma Road that was defended by the AVG and was bombed, do you remember? TIGER WANG: What? INTERVIEWER: INTERVIEWER: (Man) Burma. Burma. TIGER WANG: Oh, Burma. INTERVIEWER: INTERVIEWER: (Man) The Burma Road The Burma Road. TIGER WANG: Burma Road, ah, I thought you said........ INTERVIEWER: The Burma Road, not the Burma Road. It was the Burma Road. TIGER WANG: The Burma Road. In fact I was in Burma Road when Chen a De was in Burma Road, in Burma. I did lots of things at that time. At first, he was at northern Burma..... What's the name of that place? (Man: Lashio). Right, Lashio. Isn't that true that American established the AVG? The headquarter was set in Lashio. I went there very often. Because at that time, Chen a De, especially about the personnel, about the personnel of ground staff, all were helped by we Chinese. At this moment, Chen a De was no longer the general advisor for the Air Force Academy; he resigned already. He was the Commander of the Group for full-time. INTERVIEWER: Ambassador Wang, do you still remember Stilwell? TIGER WANG: Stilwell? I know. I know. INTERVIEWER: What's the difference between he and General Chen a De? 13 �TIGER WANG: It is very difficult to express. It is very hard for me to criticize them. INTERVIEWER: It is not to criticize rather than..... TIGER WANG: I know it clearly; I know it clearly. INTERVIEWER: So how was it? What's the difference between them? TIGER WANG: Stilwell he. When first came, he was also with very few people. There were not very many people with him when he first came. Stilwell, at the same time, he and. As I know, Stilwell and General Chen a De probably did not have chance to work together in America. Stilwell was a complete serviceman and Chen a De, at that time, was kind of a half soldier, half ordinary people. Chen a De has retired for a long time then already. When he served as our general advisor and some other things, he was retired already, but later, he restored. As far as I know, due to many different reasons, it was not so easy to cooperate with Stilwell. I don't know how to say. INTERVIEWER: It doesn't matter, you can say that. TIGER WANG: No, nothing special..... But, in American troops, it is their private issues when one or two people did not want to cooperate. It is their own business. INTERVIEWER: What's the major differences of their Chinese policy? TIGER WANG: Their Chinese policies, I can say that Chen a De served in China for a much longer period. In many events, he understood the situation in China. So, Chinese and he both have special feeling toward each other. Stillwell was a complete serviceman, I may say, he was a hundred-percent serviceman. He took his things as top priority in many issues. Chen a De understood China much better. As I know, they two. I am afraid that Stilwell was not only cannot go along with Chen a De.He was relocated from India later, wasn't he? I thought that the U.S. government moved him.. I thought... INTERVIEWER: So, basically, Stillwell and Chen a De..... Change the tape. INTERVIEWER: (Man) Stilwell he....... TIGER WANG: I know. Stilwell considered too many. 14 �INTERVIEWER: Can we start? TIGER WANG: He considered too many, and he was too intransigent. He could not communicate with the late President Mr. Chiang very well in some aspects. His opinion could not go along with the late President Mr. Chaing. Talk about Chen a De, if compared with Stilwell, he was much more agreeable. Stilwell was very intransigent. Once when I went to India, He was in India.. INTERVIEWER: (Man) Ranguard? TIGER WANG: I don't remember the name. INTERVIEWER: (Man) Ranguard.? TIGER WANG: I met him in India and he was still. He was still. His characteristics. He was very. He spoke openly when he did not feel comfortable with someone. INTERVIEWER: Self-centered. TIGER WANG: Yea, he spoke openly when he did not feel comfortable with someone. INTERVIEWER: How do you think about his opinion? Were they correct or incorrect? TIGER WANG: Some of them were incorrect, some of them. I thought that Stilwell did not has enough experience in real war. His fighting experience was not enough. He got his own idea. He it was not before long when he was moved from India. He did not stay there for a long time before the U.S. government moved him. INTERVIEWER: So you think that his opinion toward the late President Mr. Chiang was not correct? TIGER WANG: He got different ideas to our late President. I cannot say that they are all different, but most of them were different. I thought that he got his own idea on the relationship between we and India. He always showed that he thought that there were some consideration by the late President Mr. Chiang for things related to India. INTERVIEWER: Then how was the attitude of the late President toward him? For example, critique about him. 15 �TIGER WANG: The late President knew everything. He was really a great person, he knew that Stilwell have an attitude against him, but he did not. But he could not get along with Stilwell in many aspects. He could not bear them, either. INTERVIEWER: What's the late President's critique about him? TIGER WANG: About the critique, he would not do that. The old gentleman would not criticize an American general. The late President Mr. Chiang would never like this. He would just ignore him, namely, for those who doesn't want to cooperate, I just ignore you. INTERVIEWER: What was his attitude towards all the critiques from Stilwell? He did not explain, He just ignored them. TIGER WANG: The late President knew everything about how he criticized him in India. That's why sometimes I fell that there were misunderstandings between them. INTERVIEWER: Misunderstanding in what? TIGER WANG: For example, in political and military events, relationship between China and America, Chinese and American policies toward each other. At that time, during the Defensive War, that's for sure, we hope that China and America can work together closely. As a matter of fact, it was very reasonable for two countries to have different points of views on certain affairs. Stilwell was very intransigent, he never care about other's feeling. The late President knew this because Stilwell criticized him in public quite often. the late President said that he knew this, but he did not. He had the manner as a leader. [Background ---- Noisy sounds] INTERVIEWER: Give me the thing. TIGER WANG: About the formation of the Flying Tigers. INTERVIEWER: Right, so when you begin...Let's say this first. Now we say hello to all the Tigers first. Say that in English, right now. TIGER WANG: That's... In English, right? INTERVIEWER: Right. You just say Who I am, because I cannot come, so I greeting you here, O.K.? Say that now. TIGER WANG: Ladies and gentlemen. 16 �INTERVIEWER: Look at me, look at my direction. We do it again from beginning. You have to look at here and say ladies and gentlemen. Let's do that again. TIGER WANG: Right now? When shall I begin? INTERVIEWER: Right now. TIGER WANG: I say that now. INTERVIEWER: Unhu, right. TIGER WANG: Ladies and gentlemen, I am General Tiger Wang. This year is the fiftieth year of the Flying Tigers anniversary, but I cannot going to there see you everybody. I am very sorry. Wish to you everybody in good health. All time is good, good, and good. I hope I'll see you again, ok, again, again, and again. INTERVIEWER: Very good. Now I am going to ask you some more questions. Was there any direct relationship between the formation of the AVG and Madam Chiang? TIGER WANG: Shall I answer it right now? INTERVIEWER: Yes, you may answer the question now. Start with Madam Chiang... TIGER WANG: Have a very important relationship. INTERVIEWER: What have a important relationship? Do you mean Madam Chiang? You have to repeat my question first. You just say there was a very important relationship between the formation of the AVG and Madam Chiang. You start like this. TIGER WANG: There was a very important relationship between the formation of the AVG and Madam Chiang. Not only this, we may say that not only the establishing of the AVG, she contributed to the diplomatic relationship of China and America directly. This was also a very honorable thing to the Air Force. So, Madam Chiang not only helped the Air Force, the nation, she had contributed very much to the nation, to the Air Force. She made it possible to establish the AVG which was a very important thing. It was very important especially for Chinese Air Force. INTERVIEWER: What did she do? How did she help to form the AVG? 17 �TIGER WANG: At first, she was in the States to deal with the Americans. As I know, before the establishment of the AVG, she was deal with those Americans that related to this event, even the U.S. Air Force. She tried very hard to establish this organization. INTERVIEWER: So she had been in America for lobbying, right? Madam Chiang? TIGER WANG: I cannot say it was lobbying. She devoted herself for the country. INTERVIEWER: Right. Right. Yes. Can you explain the political background of the formation of the AVG? Namely, why Americans want to establish the Flying Tigers? How did it match with the needs of China? Did China ask to establish the Flying Tigers? Or, did Americans want to have the Flying Tigers themselves, too? What was the political background? Would you please explain this. TIGER WANG: I think this question is related to the country. INTERVIEWER: It doesn't matter, ambassador, because this is history already, this is for public. We only want to know your personal opinion. TIGER WANG: When the AVG was established, Madam Chiang rally devoted herself to this job. Before it was formed, as I know, she did lots of works to those top persons that related to the Air Force as well as the Congress because there were many Air Force officers in the Congress. So, As I know, before the AVG was formed, Madam did a great job in developing relationship with different areas and to talk with them about this issue. It was a great contribution to the country and the Air Force as well. INTERVIEWER: Did General Chen a De participate in the battle himself? Did General Chen a De fight with the enemy himself or he was only a commander? TIGER WANG: We did not know it clearly when he was in the United States. He did not come to China then. INTERVIEWER: You must say "When General Chen a De was in America," because you got to speak out his name. You say "General Chen a De....... TIGER WANG: When in his own country, General Chen a De contributed to his country and to the Air Force very much. But we did not understand the situation clearly, so we cannot described it. But we did know that he tried very hard in the Congress and in the Air Force to 18 �make Chinese and American Air Forces keep a very close relationship. He contributed to this event very much. INTERVIEWER: Did he battle with the enemy himself when in the AVG? Did he fly? Battle? TIGER WANG: When he was in the AVG. INTERVIEWER: Say General Chen a De, say his name. TIGER WANG: When General Chen a De was in the AVG, he did fly. But about fight with the enemy... As I know, he was a commander, a commander to the AVG. No matter up to the sky or on the ground, things were all in his plan. It was not necessary for him to battle personally when he served as the leader of the AVG. He was the commander. INTERVIEWER: We know that during the Defensive War, the late President have to fight against, in one side, Japanese, in the other, Chinese Communists. Can you explain this situation? At that time, can you explain the situation then? How the late President...... TIGER WANG: As far as I know, when fight against Japanese, General Chen a De contributed very much to Chinese Air Force, to the cooperation with Chinese Air Force, and to commanding. But about against the Communists. INTERVIEWER: No, I mean the late President Chiang. At that time, in Mainland China, the situation was troubles within . TIGER WANG: You mean late President Chiang! INTERVIEWER: Yes. Troubles within and without. He got to fight against Japanese and Communists. So the burden to President Chiang was very heavy: troubles within and without. Can you explain the situation at that time? Talking about the President Chaing, have to fight against Japanese and the Communists. TIGER WANG: How can I explain this. The President's ambition was to make the Republic of China a modernized country. If, no matter it was foreign countries or from inside of China, it was harmful rather than helpful to the country, then the President, for the future of the nation, cannot help but to use military forces. INTERVIEWER: The situation must be very tough at that time. What was the situation? 19 �TIGER WANG: The situation.... it was a very severe problem for the country. I believe the old President was not willing to have civil war in China. But he cannot allow the enemy to hurt the country. In order to save the nation, to rescue the people, he just cannot neglect the situation, he would not. INTERVIEWER: At that time, even until now, some people said that the late President only fight with the Communists instead of against Japanese. TIGER WANG: They cannot say that. INTERVIEWER: He did not take fighting against Japanese as top priority. TIGER WANG: No, no. We cannot say that. If he did not fight against Japanese. INTERVIEWER: General, would you. TIGER WANG: For example, in China, we called fight against Communists as "Attack against the Bandits" INTERVIEWER: Right. So they said that the late President just attacked the bandits but did not fight against Japanese. This was the critique from foreign scholars toward him. I hope you can explain this here, all right? Please repeat my question when you ready to start. TIGER WANG: I think they were wrong to criticize the old President on this point. INTERVIEWER: All right, all right, repeat my words first. You just say: "Somebody said that the late President just attacked the bandits but did not fight against Japanese." Repeat this sentence first and then say what is your opinion. TIGER WANG: Somebody said that the old President just attacked the bandits but did not fight against Japanese. I think that they are humiliate him, besides, it was not a fact according to the history. In contrast, many people said, to stabilize the inside before repel the outside. I agreed this idea totally. To stabilize the inside before repel the outside did not mean to fight against both sides simultaneously; this would make the country suffered too much. So, I totally agreed with the late President's strategy of eliminate inner bandits first and then defend outside invader. If we cannot unify the nation and collect all our strength to defend invaded enemy, our country's strength will be weakened. At that time, there certainly were some people said that the late President just attacked the bandits but did not 20 �fight against Japanese. For them, I have one question to ask: You said the late president did not fight against Japanese, then how we won the Defensive War? Who lead us to fight for the victory? It was the old President that lead us to fight for the Defensive War. So, if somebody said that the late President just attacked the bandits but did not fight against Japanese, I will say that this is just nonsense. INTERVIEWER: Will you please say that again because we did not get it right yesterday. You say when Japan invaded China in 1937, did the Chinese Air Force have strong power enough to against Japanese Air Force? I mean, how many pilots, how many planes did Chinese Air Force own? TIGER WANG: I don't know. I don't know the pilot. INTERVIEWER: Repeat my words first and say when Japan invaded China in 1937, the Chinese Air Force. Repeat my word first, all right? TIGER WANG: That was about the Defensive War in 1937. At the time when the War began, we Chinese Air Force were prepared and were trained for, but did not have a very powerful ability. The important thing for battling is that the ability to fight got to be continued. At the time we prepared for the War, we only have part of the Air Force prepared. We did try our best to train our men. I served in Air Force at that time. INTERVIEWER: How many planes? How many pilots? How many planes that can fly, can fight? TIGER WANG: How many planes at that time? I may say that in quantity. The fighting is depend on two things, one is the quality, the other is the quantity. When the war began, I think that the quality of the training of the Chinese Air Force was very good. But as the war going on, there were certain losses which was inevitable. When try to supply for the losses, we encountered many difficulties. INTERVIEWER: During the Defensive War, Japanese Air Force bombed many Chinese cities, can you describe your feeling when you saw those cities slaughtered by Japanese bombs. Can you describe what did you feel? TIGER WANG: Of Course, at that time. 21 �INTERVIEWER: Repeat my word first and say when Japanese Air Force bombed these Chinese cities and made uncountable losses, what was your feeling. Repeat my words first. TIGER WANG: When the Defensive War began, Japanese has prepared a very powerful Air Force which I can say that was much stronger than ours. But, I think that in many places, the Japanese Air Force should not bombed anywhere they want, they should not do this. At that time, people in many cities worried about and suffered from this very much. They worried and suffered too much. I think that in strategy. INTERVIEWER: Change the tape. Japanese troops planed to went through but was destroyed by the AVG, on the Salween River...... Ambassador, do you remember that event? TIGER WANG: I don't remember that. INTERVIEWER: Everybody knows, people knows your nickname. They prefer to call you Tiger Wang. Can you explain why? How did you get this name? When you are ready to start, when you ready to say, repeat my words first and say "people always call me Tiger Wang." and then explain the original of this name. TIGER WANG: Some people call me Tiger Wang, namely Wang Lao Hu. I got this name because when fighting for the Air Force, I was famous for not afraid of death. I was like that in the Air Force, furthermore, when I trained my followers, I focused on teaching them to be not afraid of death also. There were two things that we mentioned all the time when trained our followers in the Air Force which stated "Not afraid of death," and "Not covetous for money." I may say that the spiritual of the Chinese Air Force in "Not afraid of death" is very respectable. It is not because I was a member in the Chinese Air Force so that I praise it, it because. When talk about the quantity of the Chinese Air Force, we were much weaker than Japanese Air Force. INTERVIEWER: So the origin of your nickname was. TIGER WANG: In addition, people call me this is possibly because when I trained my followers and my students to be not afraid of death. To train my troops and my students to be not afraid of death, I have to be not afraid of death myself, right? When I train the air force, the idea of not afraid of death was a very important....This was a fact for the education. 22 �INTERVIEWER: Is there any relationship to the Flying Tigers? Your name Tiger Wang and the Flying Tigers. TIGER WANG: No at all. I got the name, Tiger Wang, long before the formation of the Flying Tigers. That was when.... There were many reasons for this name Tiger Wang: because I treated my followers very strictly and I paid serious intention to military regulation. It was not only because I did not afraid of death in flying that get me the name Tiger Wang, I was very restricted to my followers. For those good followers, I did my best to promote them; for those followers that were not so good, I would not do bad things immediately, I just retrained them more strictly. In the Air Force, I can tell you, it was not that easy to train a good pilot. So, people call me Tiger Wang is because I always requested strictly and because of my bravery in fighting. INTERVIEWER: Could you explain to us the influence of the AVG on China? TIGER WANG: I may say that the AVG did contribute to our country for a great deal. Because at that moment, to tell the truth, if we depend on our own Air Force, it would be too painful for us. In comparing with Japan, we were far behind them. At that time, people felt that our Air Force was not good enough in both quality and quantity. We requested very strictly in quality and the training was very tough. INTERVIEWER: People said that Chinese and American Air Forces have a very good relationship until today. How is your feeling? What is your opinion? Repeat my words first. TIGER WANG: The relationship between China and America... Chinese and American Air Forces have a very good relationship indeed. One of the reason for this is because the Chinese Air Force, when we started our aviation school, when we set up the aviation school in Hangchow, the first advisor that we invited were an American. Like Choid? and others, all the instructors were Americans. At that very moment, Chinese pilots and American pilots have built a strong friendship. I can tell you, the relationship between teachers and students are more important than anything else. TeacherStudent relationship, I mean for teacher and students, especially for air force, teacher and student were having a relationship to live or die together. For example, a teacher go fly with a student, if something goes wrong, the plane crashed, the teacher will die as well as the student. So it is very logical and reasonable for us to say that the teacher and student in air force have a very special relationship. We have a good relationship with the U.S. Air Force, one of the most important reasons is because there is a teacher- 23 �student relationship between us. I may tell you, this is a major reason. INTERVIEWER: How about the relationship for today's Chinese and American Air Forces? TIGER WANG: The relationship for today's Chinese and American Air Forces are still very good and it will be good forever. Although there are some differences in the countries' and the government's policies, but in personal feelings, we are still good friends with the U.S. Air Force. INTERVIEWER: Are the relationship from fifty years ago still the main reason? TIGER WANG: Of course. This is a very important reason.... INTERVIEWER: Repeat my words. The main reason. TIGER WANG: Of course. The main reason is because there is a teacher-student relationship. The teacher-student relationship is a live- and-dietogether relationship. We keep a very close relationship with the U.S. Air Force until today, the main reason is because this important relationship. INTERVIEWER: We know that five months after the establishment of the Flying Tigers, the Pearl Harbor Incident occurred. Would you please describe your feeling. Was there any change after the incident? Was there any change for the U.S. Air Force, the AVG in China? What's the situation? TIGER WANG: The Pearl Harbor Incident. INTERVIEWER: Repeat my words, the Pearl Harbor Incident occurred in December 1941. Then go on, O.K.? Repeat my words first. TIGER WANG: What is the purpose of your question? INTERVIEWER: Before the Pearl Harbor Incident. INTERVIEWER: After the Pearl Harbor Incident. Before the Pearl Harbor Incident, America did not participate in the war. The only thing they have in China was the AVG to help Chinese Air Force fight against Japan. After the Pearl Harbor Incident, America take part in the war. To you, because you were a general in China, an Air Force general, O.K.? How did you feel? Was there any influence for the AVG? 24 �Was there any influence on their battle strategy or anything else? What's your feeling? TIGER WANG: About this question, just like I mentioned before. INTERVIEWER: You have to repeat and say the Pearl Harbor Incident occurred in 1941, and then continued. They cannot recorded my questions, O.K.? TIGER WANG: O.K., O.K. INTERVIEWER: Let's do it again. TIGER WANG: In 1941, the Pearl Harbor Incident occurred. This incident increase the friendship between Chinese and American Air Forces. This is a fact that it increase the friendship between Chinese and American Air Forces. When the incident happened, I was in Siberia. I was in Siberia to build an air force base so that in this wide area, the Chinese Air Force may have a base for the war. When the Pearl Harbor Incident happened, I was there to look for a proper place to be the site for air force base. At that moment, I have thought about the Siberia which was a very big wilderness. According to my judgement, if there was things happened among Japan, America and China, I believe that Siberia must be a... It will be inevitable for us to use Siberia. So, before the Pearl Harbor Incident, I can tell you, I got a plan for the base in Siberia and began to build base there. So when the Pearl Harbor Incident occurred, our base in Siberia became very useful. I remembered when I was building the base in Siberia, my friends from the U.S. Air Force went there, too. He went there to check the base. The U.S. Air Force, before the Pearl Harbor Incident, knew that it would be inevitable for Americans to fight against Japan someday. We can talk about it here that they have prepared for the set-up of the air force bases and so did the Chinese. So, after the incident happened, bases around this area did become very useful. INTERVIEWER: What you mean is that after the Pearl Harbor Incident, the cooperation between Chinese and American became even closer. TIGER WANG: Closer? Yes, it is true. After the Pearl Harbor Incident, Chinese and Americans cooperated to each other closer. And, all those higher ranked officers in the Air Force knew that there would be a day like this. So, the reason I built the base in Siberia was not only for us, the U.S. Air Force use it more often than we did. 25 �INTERVIEWER: O.K. Can we go back and talk a little bit about... Because you were the trainer for Chinese Air Force, can you tell us the methods Chinese used to train our air force staff? Is there any difference to the methods used by the U.S. Air Force? TIGER WANG: What? INTERVIEWER: I mean is there any difference between the training methods of Chinese and U.S. Air Forces? TIGER WANG: Memorial? INTERVIEWER: No, I mean. TIGER WANG: For Chinese and American Air Forces, I can say that, from the beginning of the training for both Chinese and American Air Forces, all the content are the same. It is true that they are the same. I can tell you, because, for Chinese Air Force, when we established in Janchao?, Hangchow, the school had invited Americans from Air Force to be advisors and flying instructors. Not only as advisors, but also as flying instructors. At that time, training foundation, training methods, selection of Air force staff were almost all followed what Americans did for their own air force. So, for Chinese and American Air Forces to cooperate is very easy, very sincere, very easy. Those American instructors of the air force came to our place, I can say, they did not think they were Americans anymore; they just the same as Chinese, that's truth. The cooperation of China and America was not succeeded in a short period, especially for the Air Force. The training methods and training procedures of the Chinese Air Force were the same as it of the Americans. When I went to America, that was because American instructors came her to train our people to fly, so they invited me to The U.S. to inspect and evaluate. I went to their aviation school and found it was the same as ours. They were totally similar. In the training methods, training, even daily life, all the training were the same as in China. This is one of the reasons that made it very easy for Chinese and American Air Forces to cooperate. General public may think that the Chinese and American Air Forces. As a matter of fact, why the Chinese and American Air Forces can form and looked like from the same country is because when the training began, we have the American instructors, American advisors. In the meantime, we Chinese thought that the training and education of U.S. Air Force was really very good. 26 �INTERVIEWER: At that time, a traditional flying strategy for Air Force was to have three planes fly together, but General Chen a De's strategy was to have two planes. TIGER WANG: What two plans? INTERVIEWER: I mean, at that time. TIGER WANG: That is the formation of the air force. In the formation of the air force, a squad team has three planes, sometimes four plans. INTERVIEWER: But General Chen a De's method, his strategy was two planes. TIGER WANG: That was a. This was not a permanent. INTERVIEWER: How did you feel, because two planes, it was a new formation for two planes. It was a new strategy at that moment. TIGER WANG: It was not a. INTERVIEWER: We want to know what your opinion about this thing? Can we start it over again. When you begin, we will work on this question from beginning. When you start, repeat the question first. TIGER WANG: I don't understand this that clear. INTERVIEWER: You don't know it that well? TIGER WANG: Let me tell you one thing. I have a very close relationship with the U.S. Air Force. For example, when they established the AVG; the formation of the AVG was a very big event for America and for the Air Force. It was very important. Let me tell you, in the AVG, there was a Group Commander, the next were Squadron Commanders, and then Squad Team Leaders. I will tell you now that the AVG was established in Kunming. After established, Chen a De, and this was not his opinion alone, invited me to be their second leader that equivalent to the deputy group commander. At that time, it was not so appropriate to give me a title as deputy group commander, but they invited me to join them. Chen a De invited me to be the deputy group commander, because there were not only Americans in the AVG; there were many Chinese in the group included Chinese aviators. Therefore Chen a De invited me to served as, he cannot called me deputy group commander, but it was one of the leaders for the group. I don't think many people know anything about this. When he invited me to do this, I tell him that I got to ask for the President's permission because I am a 27 �Chinese officer but most of the staff in the AVG were Americans and, as a matter of fact, it is an American troop. The AVG was an American troop, therefore, when Chen a De asked me, but he cannot say please be my deputy group commander, to be one of the leaders. I told him right away that I cannot make decision myself for this issue. Because for a Chinese officer get into the American military system, I got to ask our old gentleman. I went to see the old gentleman myself, and the late President agreed with my suggestion that Chinese officers should not be the leader for American troops. So, finally, our old gentleman permitted and told Chen a De that I will serve as a second leader, but it cannot be announced to the public that I am the deputy group commander, just like a guest which will not be included in the system. So, I think not many people knew about this thing. INTERVIEWER: Did this issue has any influence on your future as a serviceman? TIGER WANG: No, no. there was no influence at all. I tell you, for those came to help the Chinese Air Force at about the same time, we had American advisors, Russian advisors, and once Italian advisors. Sometimes we invited American advisors and Italian advisors simultaneously. Therefore, the Chinese Air Force invited advisor from America which were largest in amount and have longest history. Next was Russian advisors. It was during the China-Soviet Union cooperation period. There were Russian advisors in Army, even served as pilot for the Air Force. We have been with American Air Force as well as Russian Air Force. I learned how to fly in Soviet Union. The other was, I am afraid there were very few people knew this, our cooperation with Italy. Our Air Force once had Italian advisors and there were many Italian flying instructors. I think most of the people did not understand this. What we hope was that no matter which country help us to establish the air force as long as they treated us well, emphasize on his own air force, and owned a very powerful Air Force themselves. So, in the Chinese Air Force, we have American advisors; during the China-Soviet Union cooperation period, we have Russian advisors; once one even have Italian advisors. And I have been to Italy to got my training. INTERVIEWER: All right, at lat, would you please.... TIGER WANG: We try to suit each other's needs, so, when you are ready to go public. I feel that the AVG was really very helpful for the Defensive War. In the Air Force, for the strength of the air force, the AVG did a lot of things. It was very powerful for the Defensive War, in war ability, in the Chinese war ability. And, the thing that 28 �makes me feel very respectful was that though our American friends were volunteers stayed in China to help increasing the war ability of China government; I may say that these friends were very respected by me because they tried their best to help, sometimes I feel they tried even harder than they will if worked for their own country. I am not telling this to the American friends only, it is just the truth. For example, I said this before, that the AVG took me as one of their members. I did not tell this to show that I did something in the group, but in order to increase the strength of our American friends, I did try my best to help. To help them was just like to help Chinese ourselves and was equal to work for we Chinese. So I think that these friends in the AVG did devoted themselves to help us. It was not because I have very many American friends, especially in the Air Force, so that I say good words about them. It was not truth, I will never do things like that. I can say that they came to China to fight, and I believe that they will not work harder for their own country than for ours. They did try their best regardless of live or die. So they. I have many American friends in the Air Force, we have the same opinion and all agreed on this point. Especially the U.S. Air Force, they were always with me in battling and training. So, I can say that they did. They did not showed any difference for providing their service to China than to the United States, they were all the same. This is one of the reasons we call our American friends good friends. INTERVIEWER: All right, thank you, thank you. TIGER WANG: This is why we think that the American friends are the best friends. INTERVIEWER: We will finish this very soon. Please say anything as you wish, like some more comments and feelings in your own words. You may say anything you want from now on. TIGER WANG: Take myself as an example, when I began to learn how to fly, I have lots of contact with foreign air forces. As I said, I have been working with U.S. Air Force, U.S.S.R. Air Force, and Italian Air Force, all of them. So, I respected these countries' Air Force staff. They never said that because I am an American served in China for Chinese Air Force, I will do worse here than I will in my own country. Even Russians were like this. Therefore, for the air force staff, I can say that they emphasize on their honor as the most important thing....

Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued. The Digital Collection contains the scanned covers of 140 titles held by Grand Valley State University Libraries.
