No shit, Little Beaver.

Long before the U.S. entered WW2 in 1941 at the request of the Japanese,
China was occupied and brutalized by the Japanese during the 1930's. (read
up on the "Rape of Nanking".

Chenault and the Flying Tigers go back further than 1935, but we can
settle on 1937 as their first advent into China. The Russkies were virtual
newcomers in 1938.

We supported China against Japan unofficially before 1941 and long after
into the end of the war. Russia was no where to be found in the China Sea,
or the Pacific after 1940.

Nor did they contain any Russians or Russian Airplanes. Russian aircraft
was far inferior to the P40s and always less than ideal against the
Japanese. At least the P40s were a good match. In fact, the Russians sent
unfinished aircraft, while the US upped the ante' in the summer of 41 with
100 more P40s and all kinds of trainers for the Chinese up and coming
pilots.
