One Star Medal
This is the back of a WWII Chinese medal awarded to an American pilot. Looking for a translation.

Thanks

Re: Chinese Translation WWII

It was a medal, not per say, but worn by Flying Tigers. I figured that out after you posted the front.

This is not the same as the Chinese nationalist pilot wings. It was awarded by the Chinese government for a mission in July 1944.

That site shows Boyington wearing the CBI patch. He never wore it. He left India in May of 1942 and didn't arrive back in the US until July 1942. The CBI patch wasn't created until July/Aug. 1942. So he wasn't there for the transition to the CATF.

But I digress.

Cant be so.
The AVG (American Volunteer Group)/(Flying Tigers) Flew their first combat mission in early December 1942, and were disbanded about 9 months later. That medal was not issued until 1944.

 After showing this to my wife and father-in-law, they translate this as follows:
Air Force Three Star Medal (Read characters from right to left)
City: Nanjing (12k Gold)

They are not in agreement with Greg_Z in that they cannot confirm this was a Flying Tiger medal, nor do they agree that it was the Chinese government that awarded this medal.

My wife and her dad are discussing this now.

Re: Chinese Translation WWII

24 July 1944
13 B-25s and 20 P-40s from the 14th AF bombed railroad facilities at Sienning.

22 P-40s from the 14th AF pounded Pailochi Airfield, destroying about 30 aircraft and causing heavy destruction in general.
The Japanese reported that at 10:40 the Pailochi airfield was hit by a formation of B-25s and P-40s, causing six Ki-43s of the 48th Sentai to be destroyed and three others seriously damaged.

 Whatever it says, I think it's special you have the actual paper document that goes along with it, very cool.

Was this for a friend of yours, or your dad?

Re: Chinese Translation WWII

The gentleman that was awarded this medal is still alive and has it. He was in the same squadron as my grandfather. He let me scan his pictures, documents, and awards from WWII. He made a few attempts to have the back translated, but never was successful. I told him I would see what I could do.

Re: Chinese Translation WWII

Maybe the blue star stands for three red stars. Like they used to do here, sorta.

1 edit		 I lack the time to post more now - but I am leaving this thread open for my wife and father-in-law to help you further.
If you actually need it, that is.

They looked this over and discussed it very carefully last night. Unfortunately I was sawing logs by the time they finished, and now I have to leave for four days. Maybe I'll have time to log on Tuesday afternoon.

I'll tell them to refresh this page when they get home from work. Maybe they will contribute for you.
ChongQing (ChungKing) is their hometown.

Three of those characters indicate Three Stars - I remember him reading them over my shoulder last night.

I am interested in anything they have to contribute. The squadron this pilot belonged to (118th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron) was based in Chengkung from21JAN45 -31MAR45. He completed his 100th mission in late October 1944 and returned to the US in November 1944.

Re: Chinese Translation WWII

That's cool.

I'm surprised it has taken this long (on DSLReports)to get translated.
