This slender volume recounts a little-known aspect of the overseas Korean independence campaign against Japan that occurred against the backdrop of the high point of that campaign—the March First Movement of 1919. It was in that year that a Korean Provisional Government in exile was established in Shanghai, and Koreans abroad, including those in the United States, believed that liberation might be at hand after nearly a decade of colonial rule. By this time, there were some five thousand Koreans in Hawaii and another thousand on the mainland, mostly in California. In early 1920, as part of the liberation movement and with $50,000 in financial support from wealthy Korean rice farmer Kim Chong-lim in California, a Korean Aviation School was established in Willows, about 150 miles north of San Francisco. Ostensibly, the aviators, numbering about two dozen, were training with a view toward using their flying skills against Japan. However, the effort proved to be short-lived, closing after a year when its wealthy benefactor suffered financial reverses. The existence of this school has not been unknown to scholars of Korean American history, meriting a mention most recently in Marn J. Cha’s Koreans in Central California (1903–1957): A Study of Settlement and Transnational Politics (Lanham, Md.: University Press of America, 2010). Now, thanks to this volume, we have a more complete picture of

韩裔美国先驱飞行员:Edward T. Chang 和 Woo Sung Han 的柳树飞行员

这本细长的卷子讲述了在抗日运动的高潮——1919 年三一运动的背景下发生的海外朝鲜独立运动鲜为人知的一面。正是在这一年,韩国流亡临时政府成立了。成立于上海,海外的韩国人,包括美国的韩国人,相信经过近十年的殖民统治,解放可能就在眼前。到这个时候,夏威夷有大约五千韩国人,大陆有另外一千人,主要是在加利福尼亚。1920 年初,作为解放运动的一部分,在加利福尼亚州富有的韩国稻农 Kim Chong-lim 的 50,000 美元财政支持下,在旧金山以北约 150 英里的 Willows 建立了一所韩国航空学校。表面上,飞行员,大约两打,正在训练,以使用他们的飞行技能对抗日本。然而,这一努力被证明是短暂的,在其富有的恩人遭遇财务逆转一年后结束。这所学校的存在对于韩裔美国历史的学者来说并不陌生,最近值得一提的是 Marn J. Cha 在加利福尼亚中部的韩国人(1903-1957):定居和跨国政治研究(马里兰州兰哈姆:大学美国出版社,2010 年)。现在,多亏了这本书,我们有了一个更完整的画面 这所学校的存在对于韩裔美国历史的学者来说并不陌生,最近值得一提的是 Marn J.
