- Description:
- Claire Lee Chennault is writing to George B. Schwabe to express concern about the possibility of air transport planes falling into the hands of Chinese Communists. He questions the actions of the British in supporting a United Nations embargo on war materials to Red China while allowing the transfer of these planes. Chennault believes that the planes would significantly boost the Communists' war potential, unlike the embargo on rubber shipments from Malaya. He concludes by expressing frustration at the perceived trade-off between the two actions.
