This book chronicles exploits of the 3rd Bomb Squadron of Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault's experimental Chinese-American Composite Wing, in which young men from two nations of different languages, customs, and cultures joined forces to fight a common enemy. At the end of the world's longest supply line and often limited by shortages that included gasoline and bombs necessary for missions, as well as often-foul weather, they went on to establish an impressive record of successful combat operations. This squadron history reveals details of their B-25 bombing and strafing raids against vital enemy targets—primarily along conduits used to transport supplies and troops—as well as of daily activities that provide an intimate glimpse behind the scenes. Narratives from official records complemented by letters home, personal diaries, interviews, and more than 200 never-before-published photographs make this a must-read for anyone seeking to understand one of WWII's most distinctive military organizations.

Margaret Mills Kincannon

Margaret Mills Kincannon was born in Arkansas in April 1944, three weeks after her father’s

arrival in the China-Burma-India theater. They met for the first time in November 1945.

Although he seldom spoke of the war, she was intrigued by the few stories that he did tell.

Margaret later realized that her opportunity to learn more about his service was fast

slipping away, so in 2014 she initiated a series of informal interviews with him. She began

intensive research at the same time, and her discoveries aided in rekindling his memories.

The result is The Spray and Pray Squadron: 3rd Bomb Squadron, 1st Bomb Group, Chinese-

American Composite Wing in World War II, a comprehensive history of his AAF squadron.

Margaret graduated summa cum laude from Sam Houston State University in 1976. A

retired English teacher, she lives with her husband of 61 years, Tom, in Flower Mound, Texas.
