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.

Have a look at this website: wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/439/10/0#1 it will give you paint scemes for some Chinese bombers.

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
