rldunn, "open mind" is a two-way street, I would not claim I am an expert of the CAF in WWII, but I indeed "know" something about aircrafts used by CAF in the war, so :
1. I assume "China often hoarded supplies rather than using them due to internal rivalries." was one of your little joke, if it was not, well, I have nothing to say besides suggest you to read some related book written in Chinese.
2.and again, no, neither aicrafts nor any kindo fo aviation material from Germany played any important part in the Sino-Japanese war, even those Hs-123s were soon forced to withdraw from front line because of lack of parts !
3, I may disappointed you here but if you read my previous post, you would see I stated clearly that "Germany was no longer, repeat NO LONGER,a mjor arm supplier to china after 1938, so I DID STILL challenge your assertion, sorry, even after you provided your data.

By the way, I was still interested the fact that Germany still could transport arm to china via Burma after WWII broke out in Europe, this, I really want to know your source.
