number of Chinese divisions might be made into an effective fighting force. Such troops would be of value for operations in China Proper, but we believe that for some time to come they would not be able to carry out independent offensive operations against large scale resistance. Chinese pilots, when adequately trained by United Nations officers, may be capable of carrying out effective operations; the number of young Chinese given such training could be considerably increased. China is also able to provide a larger number of mechanics for servicing aircraft.
