- Zhu Jiaxun led a flight of three I-15bis fighters in escorting three SB-2 bombers to attack the Japanese Army airfield on Sanzao Island, Guangdong Province, China. The bombers dropped their payload amidst anti-aircraft fire without meeting any fighter opposition; as the bombers turned back for their home fields, Zhu and his two wingmen also dropped their 22-pound bombs (four bombs on each fighter) before departing. ww2dbase [Zhu Jiaxun | Sanzao, Guangdong | CPC]
