ANNALS OF THE CHINESE AIR FORCE

A splendid collection of warbirds

Greg Otterson takes us on a tour of the Royal Thai Aviation Museum in Bangkok, with its great assortment of 20th century warbirds. They include the world's only export model Curtiss Hawk 75 with fixed landing gear, such as Chennault flew over Shanghai in 1937, and the only Hawk III fighter-bomber, like those flown by the Chinese Air Force.
