Chinese Troops In Shanghai

26,237 Chinese troops and 388 tons of supplies were moved by 60 Douglas C-54's of the Air Transport Command in twenty days, during September 1945 in an operation called the "Cannon Project" when the 94th Chinese Army went from Liuchow to Shanghai, China to accept the surrender of 300,000 Japanese troops. Chinese troops are shown here getting aboard one of the Skymasters before leaving Liuchow.
