I arrived in the USA on September 8, 1947 and have noticed USAF as a branch of the military providing a beacon of hope for all folks all over the world.
Charles R. Bond, jr., a retired Air Force major general and one of the last surviving Flying Tigers, passed away on August 18, 2009 of dementia in Dallas. He was 94.
In September 1941, he left the Army Air Forces to volunteer for service in China as part of a secret program, the American Volunteer Group, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, under Gen. Claire Chenault. Made up of about 400 pilots and ground personnel and based in Burma, the Flying Tigers protected military supply routes between China and Burma and helped to get supplies to Chinese forces fighting the Japanese.
Gen. Bond was shot down twice. On May 4, 1942, three Japanese fighters zeroed in on his plane over Pao-shan, China. He was credited with downing nine Japanese planes. He said:"The good Lord had to be on our side" recalling his wartime experiences.
Washington Post published his story on page B4 on August 31, 2009. On the Education page B2 Jay Mathews published "Learning Isn't for 9 months, It's forever. " to validate "Work and Study Cycle Theory." www.ask.com
In Pin Yin:"Haohaoxuexi;tiantianxiangshang" endorses the same reasoning that I would envision the economics of education apropos of "Sino-American Economics."
