Aviation in the Fukien (Fujian)
Rebellion 1933
Lennart Andersson
Tsai Ting-kai, commander of the 19th
Route Army and military leader of the
Fukien (Fujian) Rebellion was perhaps
not a typical Chinese warlord, but he
acted like one when he moved into Fukien
Province, took power there and acquired
an air force of his own. On 20 November
1933 an independent Chinese Republic was
proclaimed at Fuchow in Fukien and on
the following day a so-called People's
Government was set up.
The Central Government under Chiang
Kai-shek in Nanking immediately attacked
and in the short war that followed the
Nanking Air Force played a crucial role.
Cities in Fukien were bombed by aircraft
that had often been acquired through
public subscriptions and had been
intended for national defence of China
against Japanese aggression. Aircraft,
people involved and operations are
described kin detail in this e-book,
which is based on contemporary newspaper
reports and archives in France, Germany,
Great Britain and the United States..
