In one of the lesser-known chapters of World War II, over 200 Soviet Air Force volunteers flew under the radar to support China’s fight against fascism during the Battle of Wuhan in 1938. Their bravery, marked by code names like 'Eagle', 'Rabbit', and 'Little Bird', forever changed the course of history.
Thanks to ongoing research, these once-anonymous heroes are now being honored at the Eternal Flame in Moscow’s Red Square, where their names are finally read aloud. This discovery not only commemorates their sacrifice but reminds us that unsung acts of courage can inspire generations. ✈️🕊️
For history buffs, students, professionals, and adventurers alike, this fascinating tale unveils a hidden chapter of the past that continues to resonate today. It's a powerful reminder that history is often written by those who dare to fly against the odds.
