AMOY
After leaving Canton on the 21st I immediately
left for Amoy to visit Lieut: Col: John. F. S. Lee.
Chinese Air Service Pilot. Amoy China.
He is in charge of a Training School started by
himself in Manila, from where he apparently obtain the
necessary money to carry on the work.

the Island of Amoy. It can hardly be called an aerodrome,
it is so small that the Colonel informed me that he was
afraid that he would not be able to carry on there and
that he would soon find another place.
There are several machines, I saw one Eagle Rock
Biplane, made by the Alexander Aircraft Corporation of
Colorado Springs, it was in fair condition. They in-
formed me that there was another of these machines, I
did not see it. In an old building there were two or
three German machines, they were in such a dreadful
condition that they are not worth consideration.
Colonel Lee informs me that he has 20 pupils and
hopes in the very near future to organise an Air Service
between Amoy and Nanking, and that he is doing his best
to obtain the necessary support from Manila. He hopes
to buy 6/8 passenger machines and has asked for parti-
culars of British Machines.
The most important development in Amoy is the
formation of a Flying School under the direction of the
