I am trying to find information of any bombers the Chinese may have used during WWII, and probably more specifically during the time of the Flying Tigers. Any help is appreciated. Terry |

The Chinese never had a large bomber force. My guess is that their most plentiful bomber was the Russian Tupolov SBs, however they also used various O2s, some B-10s, assorted Heinkels, as well as a few other aircraft. The Chinese took what they could get, so they would have six of this aircraft, nine of that aircraft, six of those, etc. |

This topic might be useful: TMP link The link that Tango posted is very informative, but you really have to sift through the information to find it. |

Gentlemen, My sincere thnaks for the help. I was aware of one of the sources, but hadn't thought I'd find anything there, so was delighted someone suggested it. I believe I will have what I am needing now. Thank you very much! Terry |
