On November 1, Chinese American Edwin Len and his families and another veteran named Zhu Pei Gi’s families visited Flying Tiger Museum. Edwin Len (Li Yi Gang) was enlisted in 555th Squadron of 14th AAF, and stayed in CBI Theater from February 1944 to May 1945. He gave praise to the whole exhibit “This is bigger than any other Flying Tiger museum, excellent!”
In US, the 14th AAF veterans get reunion every year, and made journal collecting veterans’ articles. They heard Kunming Flying Tiger Museum from Pedro Chan, our main donor. They were very excited when visited the exhibit, and from whom, we knew some new stories about CBI Theater in 1941 to 1945.
Edwin Len and Zhu Pei Gi’s daughters donated the museum 16 artifacts in total, which include one paper collection about Flying Tigers, the newest reunion Journal, two old maps of Kunming and the Hump Route. Kunming museum gave the donor’s certificate to them.
