The Canton Air Force Exodus in 1936
Lennart Andersson
Have you ever heard of an entire air
force deserting and going over to the
enemy with men and aircraft? Such a
thing happened in China in 1936, when
the officers of the Canton Air Force in
independent Kwangtung Province in
southern China decided to defect to the
Central Government in Nanking.
Perhaps inspired by their colleges in
Canton, officers of the Kwangsi Air
Force in the neighbouring provinve also
started defect as well. The situation
developed until it was on the brink of
war, but finally a peaceful solution was
found.
