That looks like James Stewart in the last picture. (Don't need to reply. Just joking.)
Anyway, the title of this thread is still misleading. It is nothing to do with China at war. It is about a Chinese officer training school, probably KMT.

Merlin,
Here is another way to look at it, PLA was stuffed by over 60% KMT turncoats and during the Korean war, there were PLA who can read captured maps written in English. Here is another example; KMT had a US trained Airborne division and conducted a large scale air drop near Jiangman in March 1945, those KMT troops became the core of PLA's 15th airborne.
Anyways, here is a captured US made 747 with a F-16 in a Photo Op by the PLA Naval Infantry in 1952.Attached Files“the misery of being exploited by capitalists is nothing compared to the misery of not being exploited at all” -- Joan Robinson

Oh dear! Are we going into sensitive territory now, comparing the KMT army and the CPC Red army in the period before 1949?
The documents we quote depend very much on who wrote them, their vested interests, and how objective they were.
