China Returns World War II U.S. Airmen Remains
The Chinese military returned the remains of U.S. airmen who aided China during World War II during a transfer ceremony in Chengdu.
The Ministry of Defence of the People's Republic of China and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs held a transfer ceremony in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, on November 10, 2026. During the event, Chinese authorities returned the remains of U.S. airmen who had supported China's resistance against Japanese aggression during World War II.
The remains were recovered by the Central Military Commission from areas along the Hump Route. This air corridor over the Himalayas served as a critical wartime lifeline, transporting Allied supplies to China between 1942 and 1945.
