The Sino-Japanese war of 1937-1945 was the longest struggle of the
Second World War. It started with the Japanese aggression in July
1937 and soon accelerated into a full-scale war with the Chinese
Kuomintang government. The Chinese Air Force was to suffer large
losses during the whole conflict with Japan. During the first weeks
of the war the Chinese lost almost all of their medium bombers.
This was a pattern that would be repeated again and again. Not
getting much help from the outside world, the Kuomintang
government, led by Chiang Kai-shek, soon closed a un-holy treaty
with the communistic Soviet Union to receive armament including a
large number of aircraft and Soviet volunteers to fly some of them.
This difficult relation with the Soviet Union lasted until 1941,
when the USA became the main supplier of armament to China, which
included the short-lived but famous US voluntary group called the
Flying Tigers. Everything was to change with the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor in December 1941, but the struggle was to continue
until the end of the war in August 1945.
