Start with a brief tour of the hotel’s historic areas; the venue will bear witness to the Chinese government’s Sept. 3 military parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII. Sven’s talk will focus on that conflict, especially the December 1944 Air Raid on Japanese-occupied Hankow by the US 14th Air Force. This raid, using incendiary bombs, was the first use of such weapons on a population center and they were subsequently after March 1945 on Japanese cities, resulting in massive destruction. The Hankow raid caused over 40,000 estimated Chinese civilian deaths; coverage of the story was muted in Allied press accounts. The US generals involved in this episode were Joseph Stilwell, Clayton Bissell, Curtis LeMay and, most importantly, AVG founder and 14th Air Force commander Claire Lee Chennault.

Sven Serrano has been the Librarian for RAS Shanghai since 2014, and is the custodian for the Longhua Civilian Assembly Center historic site in Shanghai. A Californian with an MA from San Francisco State University, he’s been a history teacher based in Shanghai since 2008.
