飞虎队
“飞虎队”严格来讲仅指 1941 年 8 月到 1942 年 7 月来华助战的美国第一志愿队。后来，随着战事推进和战略需要，美国第一志愿队进行过多次改编，“飞虎队”作为一个非官方的民间代称，泛泛地把美国陆军第 10 航空队的美国驻华空军特遣队、美国陆军第 14 航空队、中美空军混合联队、驼峰空运队以及中国航空公司等均含盖在内。

Fly Tigers
Strictly speaking, the “Flying Tigers” only refers to the First American Volunteer
Team that came to China to help from August 1941 to July 1942. Later, with the
advancement of the war and the changing strategic needs, the First Volunteer Team of
the United States undergone many adaptations. “Flying Tigers”, formally an unofficial
nickname, became a general name, referring to the US Air Force in China of the US Army
10th Air Force, the US Army 14th Air Force, the Sino-US Air Force Mixed Wing, the Hump
Airlift and China Airlines.
“二战”时期，美军中有两支部队全部由华裔组成，即 407 航空服务中队和987 信号连，这两支部队隶属第 14 航空队，即泛称的飞虎队，其作战地区在中缅印战区。 “二战”中，部分华裔被调往中缅印战区的第 14 空勤大队（14th Air Service Group），以及中美混合团，剩下约 70% 的华裔军人分别在第 3、第 4、第 6、第32 和第 77 步兵师服役。
Chinese Flying Tigers
During World War Ⅱ, two units in the US military were composed entirely of Chinese
individuals, namely the 407th Air Service Squadron and the 987th Signal Company. They
belonged to the 14th Air Force. They are commonly known as the Flying Tigers. Their
combat area was in the China-Burma-India theater.
During World War Ⅱ, some Chinese were transferred to the 14th Air Service Group of the
14th Air Service Group in the China-Myanmar-India Theater and the Sino-American Mixed
Regiment. The remaining 70% of the Chinese soldiers were in the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 32nd and 77th
Infantry Divisions service.
The image shows the marching queue of the 14th Air Service Squadron. Most of the
pilots were Chinese.
987 特别通信连
987 特别通信连是一支秘密部队，负责包括中国地面部队之间、中国和美国
部队之间、野战或者后勤部队与盟军司令部之间，以及中国与渗透到日军占领区
和国家的侦察特工人员等所有军用无线电通信联系。他们还要破译日军的电报，
培训中国技术人员。这支特殊的部队由 8 名军官和 176 名士兵组成，除了连长等
少数军官是美国人外，其余全部是在美国招募的华人。要求每一个士兵必须同时
懂中英文，他们除了学习使用各种武器外，还要学习使用便携式和大型电台。

The 987th Special Signal Company
The 987th Special Signal Company was a covert force responsible for the wireless
communication among the Chinese ground forces, and between Chinese and US forces.
It also worked between the field or the logistical forces and the Allied Commands, and
worked for the Chinese reconnaissance agents that had infiltrated Japanese-occupied areas
and for the spies and investigators. It also had to decipher Japanese telegrams and train
Chinese technicians. This special unit consists of 8 officers and 176 soldiers. Except for
a few officers, such as the company commander, who were Americans, the rest were all
Chinese recruited in the United States. It was required that every soldier understand both
Chinese and English. In addition to learning to use various weapons, the Chinese must also
learn how to use portable or large radio station.
