Features: During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, American volunteer pilots and the Air Force aided the Chinese people in fighting against the Japanese army. Numerous air crash incidents occurred, and many American pilots, after parachuting to the ground, were hunted down and brutally killed by Japanese forces. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed the slogan of rescuing Allied aircrew members. Resistance forces in North China, Central China, and South China did their utmost to rescue over a hundred American pilots. The rescued pilots, after visiting the liberated areas, were greatly surprised by the scale of the anti-Japanese resistance led by the Communist Party in the enemy rear. Out of gratitude for the selfless rescue efforts of the resistance forces and out of resentment toward the Kuomintang authorities' blockade of the truth about the anti-Japanese resistance in the enemy rear, the rescued pilots conducted extensive publicity upon returning to the United States, exerting a significant impact. Based on years of collecting materials, the author recreates the scene of the time in a documentary style, with vivid descriptions and touching plots.
