This is now modern day the 14th Air Force, on Vandenberg Air Force Base; I should know, because i'm from the 101st CAP Squadron down there. I did a lot of research on them, they were Chinese volunteers that agreed to work and help fight the war along our side. Thank you all for your sacrifice and determination.
