The Chinese and U.S. militaries held a ceremony today in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China, where the Chinese side handed over the remains of U.S. pilots who helped China resist Japanese aggression during World War II, according to China’s Ministry of National Defense.
The remains were discovered in areas along the “Hump” route, a vital air corridor over the Himalayas that served as a lifeline for China during the war.
From 1942 to 1945, this air route served as a primary channel for Allied supplies to support China’s resistance against Japanese aggression.
