Francis X. Tsu, "China's Share in the Future of Aviation", Chinese Students' Monthly, Vol. 19 (1923), p. 36:
There is talk today of getting rid of China's warlords or tuchuns, who are at the bottom of her present chaos and internal disruption, via the aerial route. This is a possibility rather than imagination. The question is where to find trained men and finance. At the present there are relatively few persons in China who know aerial warfare at all. Perhaps the most eminent of them all is Etienne Tsu, a product of the renowned St. Stanislaus College of Paris, France. He fought in the World War with the French aviation corp. He won much praise by his bravery and the downing of two German planes and he was consequently awarded the croix de Guerre.
