Piece of jade given to Lt. Travis Hoover, a Tokyo Raid pilot, by a Chinese District Commissioner. The donor, Mr. Tung-Sheng Liu, a Chinese citizen in 1943, acted as interpreter for the crew from Hoover's plane and guided them to safety (as well as crews from several other planes). In 1946, he came to the US and in 1954, became a citizen. He was employed as an aeronautical engineer at Wright-Petterson AFB in 1956- at the time of his retirement in 1978 he was CHief of the Engineering Review Division of the Aeronautical Systems Division. |
