In 1943 or 1944 (I think), the Fourteenth US Air Force joined
with the Chinese Air Force to form the Chinese American
Composite Wing (CACW) which included a medium bomber squadron
(B-25 Mitchells) and I believe P-40s and/or P-51 Mustangs. The
above is off the top of my head. If you would like additional info,
I will have to check my references at home and get back to
you.
