Re: Recognition
Yes, they had been fighting in China, but how many travellers or foreign contacts were there to pass back information? And how good would the resulting information have been? Yes, Chennault did pass back some, but that ended up stuck in a file - as I commented.
It does seem that people who have grown up in a easy-travelling free-world media-rich environment find it difficult to understand how little genuine information actually was available from the authoritative regimes pre-war. As a comparison, think how little is currently known about current US black programmes, where free comment on what can be seen is rife. Pre-war, all information from all countries was "black".
