《南方周末》今年(指1997年)5月2日第2版载文《似是故人来》,我们阅后深感惊异。文中将1923年由中国人自行设计制造和试飞的第一架军用飞机“乐士文”1号,完全归功于美国人夏利·亚弼和其他两个美国人,这种说法符合历史事实吗?“乐士文”1号飞机的研制是中国航空史上的一件大事,是值得中国人引以为荣的。为尊重历史,我们根据有关史料,撰写了本文,以正视听,并就教于识者。 “Southern Weekend” this year (referring to 1997) 2 May 2nd version of the article “seems to be the reason to come”, we were surprised after reading. Is it in line with the historical facts that the first military aircraft “Lushiwen” No.1, which was designed, manufactured and tested by the Chinese in 1923, is entirely attributed to the American Xiali Ya Bi and the other two Americans? The development of “Lashi Wen 1” aircraft is a major event in the history of China Airlines and it is worth the Chinese people’s pride. In order to respect history, we have written this article based on the relevant historical materials so as to face up to the people and educate the minds.
