Veteran pilots from China, the US and India, who participated in the Hump Airlift during the Second World War, visited the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijing on Nov 17, 2008.
The average age of the American veterans is over 80 years old, the eldest being 90 years old. They found photographs of themselves from the old days at the exhibition, and also searched for pictures of their comrades in arms.
During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the allied forces of China, the US and the Soviet Union fought shoulder to shoulder against the Japanese aggressors and over 2,000 US pilots were martyrs whose blood dyed the sky.
The pilots were in China for the "China-US Veteran Peace Forum to Mark the 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of Sino-US Relations".
