Features: During the War of Resistance Against Japan, 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 who parachuted and landed were chased 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 desperately rescued over a hundred American pilots. The rescued pilots, after visiting the liberated areas, were greatly astonished by the leading role of the Communist Party in the anti-Japanese resistance 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 engaged in extensive publicity upon returning to the United States, creating a significant impact. Based on years of collecting materials, the author vividly recreates the scene of that time with a documentary style, depicting vivid scenes and touching plots.
