The individual that aquired the P40's for China from the Uited States was Cecil Folmar. He was in China at that time & went to Hawaii on behalf of the Natinalist Chinese. Claire Chennault directed him to make the purchase these aircraft. I was told this by Cecil Folmar, Jr., MD, his son, who is my otologist.
My name is Vern P. Martin. I currently live at 16985 Kawai Court Fountain Valley, CA 92708. I was a member of the 14th Army Air Force. I was a radar mechanic with the 373 & 374 Heavy Bomb Squadrons of the 308th Heavy Bomb Group. My tour of duty was from July 1943 to July 1945.
It was my understanding that the the P40's & P51's were painted to resemble the tiger shark which was feared by the Japanese. How it was transferred to the Bengal Tiger, I don't know.

[edit] Cleanup
I've begun a major cleanup of this article, if you could refrain from making any edits for the next 2 hours or so it would br greatly appreceated. I'll remove the tag when I'm done. -Loren 18:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- I've broken up this article to limit it to discussion on development of the ROCAF. Information on engagements have been moved to Aerial Engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War, while relevant info on the Burma supply route will be incorporated into the existing article The Hump. -Loren 23:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright problems
Some of the content of this article reads like it was copied directly out of a book, probably of Russian origin based upon the language. If so this could cause major copyright questions. Many of the contributions of the anon who created this article seem suspect. -Loren 20:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
