1944年3月31日手工修築的機場

中國—現代機械設備的匱乏並不能阻止人力資源豐富的中國人修建現代化飛機場。成千上萬的中國民工團結一致進行這項工作，成千上萬的人造獨輪車用來運輸建築材料，甚至連鋪墊跑道的碎石也靠人工敲鑿砸開。美國工程師負責監理工程施工，與中國軍隊工程專家們協調配合。圖片內容：來自麻省馬布爾黑德的區域工程師沃爾多·肯那森中校，正在現場和戰地記者談論工程，好奇的中國民工在一旁圍觀。左起：《時代周刊》記者懷特、肯那森中校、美國新聞通訊社的詹姆斯·斯特沃特、《紐約時報》記者布魯克斯·阿特金森。

Lack of modern equipment and machinery isn't stopping the resourceful Chinese from building modern airfields in China.Three hundred thousand Chinese workers have been conscripted to do the job.A hundred thousand little handmade wheelbarrows are used to transport materials--and even the chipping of stones for the runways is done by hand.American engineers,working in conjunction with Chinese army engineers,are supervising the job.Photo shows:Lt.Col.Waldo I.Kennerson,District engineer from Marblehead,Mass.,discusses work on the field with war correspondent as coolies eye the group curiously.Left to Right:T.White of Time Magazine;Col.Kennerson;James Stewart of the American information service;and Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times.
