1932-1936


The Chinese Air Force was under construction during this period and was mainly used in the guerrilla war against the Chinese Communists.
It was completely bought out in this period:
- 72 Douglas O2MC-2 and C-10
- 20 Vought V-92C Corsairs
- 24 Heinkel He66Ch
These aircraft were of good use in attacking ground targets, but ineffective in dealing with enemy fighters
