Northeast Democratic Allied Army Aviation School: the cradle of Chinese people's aviation （1）

Image
 The Northeast Democratic United Army Aviation School, referred to as the "Northeast Old Aviation School," was established on March 1, 1946, in Tonghua, Jilin, China. It was the first aviation school of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Over the course of three years and nine months, the school endured multiple relocations, moving from Tonghua to Mudanjiang, Dong'an (now Mishan, Heilongjiang), and finally Changchun. Despite the challenging conditions, the Northeast Old Aviation School managed to train over a hundred pilots and more than four hundred aviation technical personnel. This institution played an integral role in the development of the PLA Air Force and the aviation industry in China, earning its reputation as the cradle of the People's Air Force and a monumental chapter in the history of Chinese aviation.
