History

The Wuhu Airbase was originally constructed in 1934 in response to Imperial Japanese aggressions and ambitions in the mainland of China, and was a staging location for the Republic-era Chinese Air Force to launch air strikes and combat air patrols against Japanese incursions and positions during first battles of World War II in Asia; the Battle of Shanghai, Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Nanjing.
