AMERICAN OF CHINESE DESCENT SEEKS PILOT'S WINGS. Sergeant Tom Y. Quon, an American of Chinese descent, arrived in the U.S. recently to get his pilot's wings. Sergeant Quon, who completed 50 missions as a flyer in China, India and Burma, was never listed officially as a pilot but during his services in those sectors flew a small plane containing explosives to the front lines and brought back wounded troops. Here Sergeant Quon displays his Chinese marriage license.
