申请重获勋章申请信函
Air Force Liaison officer of American Consulate in Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Michael Dembroski
I am Chi Yao Wu （吴其轺 C. Y. Wu）. I was a Captain Commander in Chinese American Composite Wing 5 fighter Group, 29 Fighter Squadron Group, under the 14th Air Force of the U.S. Army General Claire Chennault Commander in Chief, garrisoned at Zhi Jiang, Hu Nan（芷江，湖南）, from Oct.1943 to Aug.1945, fought in Anti- Japanese War with American Air Force. I flew 88 combat missions, shot down and bomb out several Japanese battle planes with American Air Force and flew through Himalayas from India to China to transport materials. I was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (D.F.C.), the Air Medal，and also got the Group Honorary Medal. On April 12, 1945, while executing the mission to fight the Japanese Army at Wu Chang，Hu Bei（武昌，湖北）, my plane’s engine was hit by Japanese fire, and also my undercarriage was
destroyed, I had to bail out at Long Tou An village, Chen Xi county (辰溪县龙头庵乡) where the distance to Zhi Jiang airport is 120 km ( Please see the combat mission).
Dec., 1949 , I was arranged at the Library of ZheJiang University. After that I was persecuted for 26 years. All medals and certificates were confiscated by the authorities. I am Chinese, and I am a good friend of American peoples. I have lot friends in American Air Force while we were fighting through fire and water, also I have friends they are Chinese airman. Three medals are honor that American Air Force confirms my heroic work in Anti- Japanese War. Also it’s a historical witness for Chinese and American Air Force. Now I am 91 years old. Because I was persecuted for 26 years, I am serious ill and hemiplegia. I know my life couldn’t last long. My last will is I could see my three medals that encourage me in my whole life, they are given by American Air Force.
I will appreciate you very much if you can help me to get the replacement of the three medals; I think the replacement of the medal is the symbol of valor, pride and good relationship with the U.S. Air Force.
Best Regards
Wu Chi Yao

我爸以前也是空军的，不过是地勤，不是飞行员。
